The "wwwmk" project can be safely deleted -- 1 member, no mailing
lists, empty repositories and no trackers activity.  We are in the
process of establishing a new Macedonian team.  The same can be said
about "wwwtl" and probably others.

The following projects need to be changed to the type "www.gnu.org
translation team":

arabic, spanish, targnum, trans-id, gmp, tradutoresbr, wwwro, wwwsr,
thaitrans, ukrainian, chinese

I am CCing the list now and will send separate per-project mails to
all members within tomorrow.

You can do this right now, only a few teams have checked in files in
their web repositories.

These should be all projects, no?  And by default it ought to work
automagically for new projects creation.

Sounds perfect.  I was not aware that the renaming of the projects
will go hand in hand with the remapping.  Thus we will solve the
problem once and for all and I can stop tormenting you :-)
