Misc. ORDB.org updates

Hello world;

It's been a while since our last heartbeat, so we would like to take a
few
minutes of your time to tell you about the latest developments within
ORDB.org.

Last week our new translations interface[1] went online. This means that
you 
can expect improvements in the various translations of the ORDB.org
website 
in the near future. Also, we would like to take this opportunity to
encourage 
you, to help out with the translation to your favourite language. You can
sign 
up at http://ORDB.org/translate/

Since our last announcement[2] we have completed a retest of all relays 
in the ORDB.org database. This process has eliminated stale entries, 
and substantially increased the quality of our data. This also means that

our testing engine is no longer slowed down by a huge backlog, 
and that tests should complete much faster than has previously been the
case.

Third, if you represent an organisation which uses ORDB.org, we would very

much appreciate it if you could sign up at http://ORDB.org/using/ . We are

attempting another stab at proving our backing in the anti-spam community
to the non-believers out there, while at the same time offering
organisations 
an opportunity to voice their stand in the battle against spam.

Finally, please consider leaving a donation at http://ORDB.org/donate/ .
Each 
donation made, helps to ensure the continued operation of ORDB.org. We
greatly 
appreciate donations of any amount. Donations are spent in the following
way:
1) On hardware and bandwidth.
2) On establishing an "anti-lawsuit" buffer.
3) On maintaining morale within the volunteer ORDB.org crew. As an example
of 
this, donations made it possible for almost the entire ORDB.org crew to
appear at LinuxForum[3] (In Danish) in Copenhagen a few weeks ago.

Thank you for your time.

The ORDB.org crew.
