Good :) There's also many TODO's (as many as you would want :) in the 
tracker :)

1If possible, please let's stick to one UI, and keep themes in
coloring via CSS and images; I mean we already have problems enough
making one UI work across browsers...

You can make a simple UI for LL in general, as long as the basic
features are there. Language can be turned on/off via a config setting
easily, and translation is best done via gettext. It's not implemented
in LL yet, but it is in OgOg, so you can see there how it's done. The
handy thing about gettext is that the translations are all in one
file, while in the code there's English in _() functions in the code.

Also if the same sentence/snippet occurs twice in the source it needs 
to be translated only once with gettext.

Ok, but plz consider keeping it 1 UI :)
