I would still like to hear answers to these questions:

With regards to the mailing list, and the post from Ariel Arjona on
the 23rd of this month, I don't think any more this would be a good
idea, given the slowness and/or lack of answers on your part. It
all looks as if nobody cared about translations of the book. I've
seen myself a few other translation related posts go unanswered.
I don't have problems hosting the translation repository on my
machine as I have been doing. In order to gain public awareness for
the project and collaboration facilities like mailing lists, Ariel
suggested registering this project at http://developer.berlios.de/,
and it seems like a good idea. I guess I will move the project
there next weekend.
Regardless of hosting issues, I'd still send periodic patches to
include in http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk once somebody
answers the first question I quoted. And I will still push you
towards internationalising the page at http://svnbook.red-bean.com/.
PD: Please don't send me private copies of your public answers. TIA.
