Actually just 1-3.  We don't expect to support any other installations
beyond our own, except possibly exact mirrors.

Also, #2 and #3 are far, far lower priorities than #1.  It's been a long
time since anyone offered to do translations of the site, although I
suspect if the capability is there we will find people with an interest
in doing it.

Sounds great.  Again our current top priority would the for all the
items in the English setup.

Thanks,
