It can also be used to get the diff automatically:-) As I had no feedback when I commited that script I though no one was using it: I'm glad you found it useful. I still think it's a lot better than monitoring the list of the cvs commits. > Well, I think adopting this is a must, not for obligation, bur for > convience, and if all pages have this line <!--translation x.x--> I figure > it would be easy to check its number against the english version, in the wml > step, notify the translation coordinator if the number gets too high (maybe > from 1.1 to 1.20) and put a note in the middle stating > > "This translated page is not completely up to date with the > original, feel free to read the <a href="page.html.en">original > page</a>" > (possibly translated to whatever language it is appropiate) > > > Comments? Can this be implemented for all current translations? I thinks it's possible changing from the comment hack (<!--...-->) to a wml directive such as: #use wml::debian::translate ver=1.17 It's worth it if all the teams adopt it, though. lupus
