Hi all,

In a previous thread we discussed the usage of www.openstreetmap.org.

Meanwhile i checked several things on the way to that site.

* Hosting:
It is possible to host the site on the same host where my current site 
(www.raskas.be) is hosted. This server is managed by Inuits (the company 
where I work).

* DNS:
I contacted the owner of openstreetmap.be (Davy Priem aka Lithion) which 
is an active OSM-er. He has registered this domain to prevent abuse.
He is in favor of the www site, and is prepared to update the dns to 
point to the correct server. He will do this when we agree on all 
aspects of the site.
(Davy: Correct me if I'm wrong)

* CMS:
For CMS we will use drupal (keep it belgian). On request I checked the 
possibility of translating in multiple languages.
I've setup a test site, beta.raskas.be, which is configured in 3 
languages (English, Dutch, French). The menu and non-content information 
is completely translated.
The content (Stories, in drupal terms) can be translated, but is of 
course manual work ;)
Check out the test site and give me some comments (I only worked on the 
translation, not the layout or anything other)


I'm prepared to be site administrator. Now we only need content writers.
Who is prepared to write and translate content?

Any other contents are also always welcome.

Greetings,
Johan Huysmans
