That currently what it is, which is nice for a change. :D*

Well, we have=20
ml-admin: @@@CS_ADMIN@@@
admin-ld: ml-admin

and we have
ip-admin: @@@CS_ADMIN@@@
admin-fi: ip-admin

We even have
volunteer-admin: @@@CS_ADMIN@@@
admin-benevoles: volunteer-admin

Is this acceptable for now, or should we really, really, really change =
things around at
this late date?  (As you may be able to tell, I'd rather leave them as =
they are unless
it's absolutely necessary :D*)

Currently, we translate "office" to "bureau".  Should it *gestion*?  =
(Once again I'd
rather not make the change right now.)

That might be partly my fault.  There isn't a "@@@SHORT_NAME@@@-admin".  =
I keep confusing
"@@@SHORT_NAME@@@-board" with it.  My mistake.

Will do. The alias list is a little screwed up anyway, so an overhaul =
later will be done
anyway.
