Not my problem.

I have no desires for or against that.  However, if you more stuff
into python/ then you'll need to update website.make to declare
PYTHONHOME.

Don't the partly-translated texinfo files contain English at the
beginning?  If so, it's no problem: community.de.html (for
example) would contain only English text, but that's not a
problem.  No, the extra bandwidth in uploading idential
community.en.html and community.de.html is /not/ an issue.

Spend as much time as you want -- the current system works, so
it's not release-critical.  I'm not going to work on these issues,
so it's not a question of wasting my time.  I'll mark 1050 as
started by you so that nobody else wanders across it.
