Hi,
since DWN is edited by multiple people beside Joey, I suggest to
change the current string in the footer of weekly news.
Current strings:
DWN 15: Debian Weekly News is edited by Andre Lehovich and Martin 'Joey'
Schulze.
DWN 14: Debian Weekly News is edited by Nobuhiro Imai, Tomas
Pospisek, David Moreno Garza and Martin 'Joey' Schulze.
It should be "This issue of Debian Weekly News was edited by ...".
This also requires
-This issue of Debian Weekly News was translated by
+It was translated by
to improve expression.
Joey agrees:
> Make sure this affects only the footer that will be appended to the
> issues and not to the index files (main index, yearly index, maybe
> more), then it's ok.
I will commit this when nobody complains ...
I checked very carefully that the footer is either used in weekly issues
or contains NOBACKISSUES="yes" (and I was able to fix a few strings this
way) and it works well in my local build.
Don't forget to update *.po[t] files since the next patch adds new
strings.
