Thanks, I changed it.
It's standard HTML, accessible via shell.sf.net, 
/home/groups/x/xb/xbox-linux/htdocs/wiki/templates/xhtml_slim.pt for 
sf.net project members.

Good question. Importance is impossible to do. But still, the people 
responsible for the project (press contact etc.) should be on the top. 
So I would suggest, those who want to take responsibility, at the top, 
then a <hr> (wiki: "----"), then the everyone else in alphabetical 
order?
By the way, this would have been a good discussion for the "discussion" 
page associated with the Contacts page. ;-)

The wiki system provides automatic notifications if pages are changed, 
so the translators should monitor their language and the English 
version of an article and try to keep them in sync... That's what would 
be easy.
Another problem is, in what technical way to store translations - 
Wikipedia has different subdomains (en.wikipedia.org, 
de.wikipedia.org), but the system also allows namespace prefixes (like: 
FAQ (english) and German:FAQ (same in German)), which is probably more 
integrated.
