Well, that makes two of us.  I don't know what "pretty
non-transparent" means and you've ignored a direct question about it.
Why all the evasion recently?

I just signed up on skin3 and there's no way to edit anything.  Where
should I be looking?

Oh look!  I'm posting a list question asking how to add or translate
content on the website... so it's exactly as transparent as before.
The main difference is that this time, no-one, except maybe possibly
at LibLime, knows the people.

Can we put the Plone site into the long grass until after 3.0 is out
and we've a few deployments under our belt, please?  You say you've
not got time to work on it or run a normal vote, we've not had time to
convert the current design, I doubt many people have got time to learn
how to edit Plone just now and kea isn't that much worse.
