That would be already too much.  It's already very difficult to cope  
with the translation of technical documentation, as you've seen a few  
days ago, especially when one day has only 24 hours, and you have  
another tasks to complete within the same time.

I totally agree with you here, but that does not impedes that there  
will be links between each other. What annoy me here is the tiitle of  
the site Fink Developer Network sounds to me something relating to  
developers, not to users, even less to sponsors, and I highly doubt  
that developers will read much of what is related to marketing, but  
well just me.

I don't see the problem here; the index file is a php file not an xml  
one: there is already a link to the wiki, just put another one to the  
sponsored server.
Then on the sponsored server you will place all the items you  
mentionned.

Yes, of course, that was obvious to me. But as you will be likely the  
only one to write those pages and they will be probably not  
translated, I don't see the problem either.
