The advantage is that it's all in one central place as opposed to having
three separate places (main web stuff, dicts -- which should be part of the
main web stuff, and wiki).

How is webmail beneficial? A mailing list can be setup on alioth for
submissions for the dict, fwiw. I wouldn't mind setting up such a thing.

Yeah, but the Debian website is ugly and ours is not. We also lose some
control over stuff if we integrate with the main site.=20

Eh? I don't see how changing the format of the dicts changes how people
submit things to you. It does make it difficult for anyone else in DW to
change anything since the dicts are _completely_ non-standard compared to t=
he
rest of the website. Fixing this (since I do consider it a problem) would
be a good thing, not a bad thing.

I would prefer them to be managed the same way the rest of the website is
managed. I don't think it's a good idea to have one section of the website
-- besides the wiki, which is something different completely -- be
untouchable by other contributors. Accessibility, etc.
