Initial Comment:
what do you think about a multilingual-programming-
interface to easy translate the Strings in spam-bayes ? -
 For example a single file which holds all user-dialog-
strings?

Translating such a file in german could be my tribute 
spam-bayes - my favorite spamfilter.

And could anybody tell my why the Outlook after 0.81 
downloads first all mail bofore classifying them?

Work is beginning right now for this.  See the recent
discussion on spambayes-dev for more information.

So whats the situation now? I wanted to use SpamBayes as 
2nd level antispam protection in my company, but people here 
dont speak english :(

Ok, then. I'm on. Let's go for it.

I've already subscribe to spambayes-dev list so expect an 
introductory message from myself any time soon.

The only thing I don't like too much is the word "champion". 
That implies too much credit to me beforehand when I haven't 
seen a single line of Spambayes' code. ;-)

See you in the dev list.
-Hernan.

No, there are no time requirements other than the ones you
impose on yourself.  You won't need any stats knowledge for
this sort of work.

I'm happy to subchampion this (helping out wherever
necessary), but I can't really help in any actual
translating (apart from Maori, or maybe a little bit of
German) and I haven't done any work like this before, which
would help.  I am very familiar with SpamBayes itself, though.

Probably the best move would be for someone to post a list
of "things to do" to spambayes-dev and ask for
volunteers/help.  Creating that "things to do" list would be
the first step :)

I know Python, that's no problem for me. Unless the dev 
group impose high requirements on time and Bayesian stats 
knowledge I can volunteer for that work.
I'll feel more confident if a subchampion, or is it 
vicechampion? ;-), volunteers too.
I don't have any problem to take the second place either 
instead.

I am willing to translate to Czech and Slovak. Maybe I could 
be that person to organize, but what do U understand under 
that term? I am not working in Python, only in vbscript, so if 
it includes programming abilities, we need to find out someone 
else.

SpamBayes-dev would be the best place.  It really just needs
a champion at the moment - someone who is willing to
organise the work getting done for one language, and then
the rest should be reasonably simple.

I volunteer for a spanish translation version. My main target is 
the Outlook plugin.
Where should the discussion take place? In the spambayes-
dev mailing list? A wiki?

Mmh - OK i like SpamBayes and i dont know how to live in this 
WORLD OF SPAM without it - but i think that i am not 
that "super-spiderman-mega-champion" - My english is not so 
Oxford-likely and i thougt that phyton is some kind of a 
snake... 

Just have a look on the translation-interface of an other sf-
project - for example pdfcreator 
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/)

IMHO SpamBayes 0.81 downloads ONE single message and 
classifies that before downloading the next message - my 
1.0rc2 now downloads ALL mails and classifies them after - 
some times it seams that SpamBayes forget to classifies some 
mails - that never happen with the version 0.81

There are some people who are interested in doing the
translation, and the developers are certainly willing to
help out as much as possible.  Hopefully work will start on
this post-1.0 (soonish).  What it really needs at the moment
is a 'champion' - someone who will do the work of organising
everyone involved, and making sure that things happen.  Most
of us are pretty busy at the moment.

As for the question - how else can SpamBayes do the
classification?  It needs to 'read' the mail to be able to
see whether it's good or bad, and in order to 'read' it, it
needs to download it first.
