In the meantime, Elsie Zinsser and Mathieu van Woerkom kindly helped
some more.  I was able to improve the Afrikaans version with Elsie's
help, the Dutch and General Limburgish versions with Mathieu's help.
Mathieu has also contributed a Dutch translation of the rules and
guideline in addition to the General Limburgish one he had already
contributed.  (You will find the translations via links at
<http://www.geocities.com/sassisch/rhahn/lowlands/rules.html>.)  As I
already said to Mathieu, "Uh-oh! Now I'll have to come up with a Low
Saxon (Low German) version sometime ..."

Also, I have taken Mathieu's advice and have changed all links in such a
way that no new windows get opened.  (Apparently there are two
"philosophical" camps: one that says that you should make sure your
index page remains open at all times, and another that says that you
should leave it up to the web surfer if they want a new window open or
not.  I suppose I basically agree with the latter, in great part because
more people complain about those "annoying" newly opened windows than
about losing the index page.  However, this is really not a matter to be
discussed in this forum.)

Thanks again to everyone who has helped so far and to those who consider
helping and thus supporting Lowlands-L in the future.

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
