Good, this was my real objective with this thread :)

"Funny" example :)
I didn't understand a word that is in the page, but I got it what you said.

I liked this proposal. But I have some questions to ask:

- Is the english translation for another language content necessary? 
Everything should be "synced" in an English version? And why?

- Is there a place where these forbidden items (like the mp3 case) are 
listed? I think this is good not only for this issue, but for all 
contributors too.

I'm really willing to contribute for anything I could do for the 
project, but I have to go a long way since I feel  for it :)
