Raquel,

I widened the audience, because I think you raise very important 
issues.  Answers inline.

Actually, we had a discussion about "groups" yesterday. I think you are 
absolutely right.  Also, I see two "types" of groups we would want to 
support:
1. Content groups (sequences, ecoliteracy, etc.)
2. Geographic groups (Lisbon, London, etc.)

I suggest we wait a few days until Jesper has his next prototype ready.  
Right now, you go to contents view, select report and press "add item" - 
quite confusing!

Same answer, only select "file". Or, you can include a TT applet in your 
report, but that's also a bit complicated.

There is a help page, and Jesper says there is inherent support for 
translating pages. he has to look into it.

You mean the "template" idea Ken & I suggested some time ago? I'll 
discuss this with Jesper.

You mean the messages? They work - but you don't get any indication that 
I've seen your msg.  We're not sure if its worthwhile to keep this 
functionality at all. If we do, we'll need to debug it.

best,
