I can do the sending and querying if email addresses (thanks Ex!). I can also take care of translating the draft in Italian and Slovenian. Maybe we could put it in the wiki in a /meta section?

I checked out the Italian list manually at 35c3. mwfc or anyone else, what would be the best way to signal that a link is down?

I can assist, we should probably have a Category for these special cases, or a list on the wiki.
