Thanks, Hans, for bumping my post.  Some members have spoken to me 
off-list about my list of wishes.  Not being a Pootle programmer I 
cannot tell if a certain wish is easily implementable or not.  I was 
under the impression that the four wishes in my mail would be dead 
simple to implement, but apparently there are issues :-)

Allow me to just clarify this point -- I focus quite a bit on getting 
professional translators involved with volunteer translation.  Some of 
them prefer that their altruistic endeavours remain secret, for both 
moral and profession reasons.

Apparently this would be more difficult to implement than I had 
initially thought, so here's a new thought:  Let's assume that users 
would want either no-one to contact them or any other user to contact 
them.  If the user is an admin user but does not want other users to 
contact him, then that is his decision.

I've thought about my four wishes a bit and I'll post a few ideas that 
may be simpler to implement.
