Translate the eV papers into English. Someone did feed it through an 
internet translator, but I can't find the output on the web. We should 
go ahead and put them on the wiki.

Basically, to join the eV, you need to be recommended by two members and 
the current members approve (fortunately, we said internet voting is 
fine). There are currently 11 members (this selection was performed by 
the number of people interested in OE willing to eat dinner in Chi-Chi's 
in Brussels, and sign a piece of paper written in German and hoping 
Holger was honestly translating it)

The current stumbling block seems to be setting up an oe-members list 
and verifying the members are still interested in participating.

Then we create a list of proposed members and vote them in. I suspect 
the initial selection criteria will be anyone with commit access who 
wants to join the eV.
