I'll see both, 6 and 7 :)
I see Abdalrahim has already offered to start a translation campaign :)
I'd like to delay this until the website is complete, and start a
translation campaign for all the site (including every module we might
end up using) just before the launch.
I think we should launch soon; the current website doesn't seem useful anyway!

OK
ok
I'm fine either way, as it's really simple to set up.
Ok, then we'll have it, right? :)

OK, but let's get the thing to work first, and then make it better ;-p

Sorry if it's more work for you, but I prefer the latter.
I'm good either way, but be careful when considering an upgrade (I have a bad experience with this word ;) ) .
IMO, nobody is using the current site, so it isn't a problem if we don't
have all the features. For me, the only important thing is to have
project pages that contain informations and updates/announcements. (I
also think the website should be slightly less formal).
+1
Agree on all, but not sure about the formality thing!

the project informations?
Do these things look like the relations in a database?
If so, I might be able to help in the design! (3NF datbase skills ;) ).

I guess we can leave this to the "make it run better" part.
ok
One other thing that would be useful but can wait for now is how to
handle todos, I've seen a few modules but most of them don't work with
drupal 7 (I guess this could replace Abdalrahim's
calendar-for-tracking-deadlines).
IMO, It would also be great to have a calendar too, even if later on.
It would help the users of calendars organize their time better, and get notified about the new projects and their dead-lines (I know it coz I use those things ;) ). Calendars use a unified system to communicate, and thus can be connected to personal calendars e.g.: Google Calendar .
