This is just an update to say that I haven't done anything.  Sorry.

We will have to do some experiments with gettext for the website.  I want
to do this but I have delayed it until I finish some more urgent work
on civserver.freeciv.org.  This will be finished in a couple of days.

I also want to start validating the pages with a HTML checker.
Last week I checked some pages with tidy, and removed the worst errors.
But a lot more needs to be done.  Ideally, all translatable text
should be moved out of the <?php ... ?> sections, into the HTML part,
or into separate source files such as screenshots.xml and the News files.
and the PHP code doesn't contain any.  Then we can use a HTML parser
to extract the strings for use with gettext.

Furthermore, I want to start using the new bug tracking system,
rt.freeciv.org, to report bugs, wishes, etc. related to
civserver.freeciv.org and www.freeciv.org.
