Thank you for sending the markdown version. It is very helpful because
Pandoc doesn't generate the proper flavor of markdown from HTML.
I don't know about RSS. It's probably still another format.

Yes, and also articles on gnu.org, not to mention updates.

I think it would be better to set up a separate team to work on fsf.org
translations. trad-gnu can't take responsibility for another project:
there are few active members, and fewer still can devote more than one
hour every few months to translating; this is probably not enough for
what you have in mind.

I also have mixed feelings about double-checking the work of other
translators. Either they are experienced, and most likely trad-gnu
members couldn't improve their translations, or they are beginners, and
it would take longer to proofread their work than to translate from scratch.

That said, we can occasionally lend you a hand if you are in a bind.

I think we can handle the FSS and the appeal page.
