Hmm..  I thought I offered at one point to do this, but then you said
you were doing something different ;-)

IMHO it will be easier if we all adopt a common look to the NL home
pages, and translate that.

You can see what I've done so far:

http://www.openoffice.org/xx/

This is a copy of our main home page, with the core pages.  Most of it
works, but some parts, like the download page, still need some
working.  Essentially this is a minor refactoring task.  But when it
is done we should be able to copy this "xx" directory (using SVN copy
command) to a new directory, e.g.,"pt-test" for translation.  And then
we can rename pt-test to pt when translation is done.

The advantage of this approach will be when we make modifications to
the main page in the future:  new content, new look, new layout, etc.
If the NL pages are SVN copies then we can do a 3-way merge to apply
these changes to each of the NL websites.  In theory.
