+<b>Translation wiki for our website</b>
+<br />
+The Tor Project has been working over the past year to set up web-based
+tools to help volunteers translate our applications into other languages.
+We finally hit upon Pootle, and we have a fine web-based translation engine
+in place for Vidalia, Torbutton, and Torcheck. However, Pootle only
+translates strings that are in the "po" format, and our website uses wml
+files. This project is about finding a way to convert our wml files into po
+strings and back, so they can be handled by Pootle.
