Done. Since this is the first time that you accept changes to mail.wml
files I thought it would be a good idea to post this on this list.

After reading all the explanations I agree.
The first times I read this I assumed this contains something as
follows:
It is quite questionable whether this [missing tables, chairs and a carpet]
would display that the organizers don't have money or don't want to spend
money on free software projects.
I also expected a "and of a" in front of "poor project".
I will not touch this file...
