Debian CD Vendor Page - broken link
G'day, I am the Debian webmaster that looks after the CD vendor's page found at http://www.debian.org/distrib/vendors It seems the website you have given me no longer has your information.

language_names
As you know, some language_names at the bottom of each pages are broken for conflict of character set. I think that to use "character entity references" is an adequate solution to avoid this problem. "Character entity references in HTML 4.0" http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-html40-19980424/sgml/entities.html For example: Español -> Español Româná -> Românã français -> français Also, "character entity references" can handle multibyte-characters with ISO10646 code set. Japanese (Chinese characters) -> 日本語 Chinese (Chinese characters) -> 中文 I've committed new Japanese language_name with the "character entity references". Then, if you have modern web browser (ex. mozilla M12 or IE5) and appropriate font-sets, you can read Japanese language_name at the bottom of the English top page.

Y2k problems with lists archives
Since it has annoyed me long enough, Tommi Virtanen, Petr Eech and me have investigated the problem and worked out a patch. If it works, the archives for 2000 are back online tomorrow. If it doesn't, well, then they're still not online and we need some more black magic... Regards, Joey -- No question is too silly to ask, but, of course, some are too silly to answer. -- Perl book

Re: language_names
Thanks for this useful information. Since most people won't have fonts installed to handle characters in other charsets, this won't buy us much for now. We should still make the change because it will prepare us for the future and because it is the Right Thing.

website's debian logo
Hi all, As pointed out in the past that the Debian logo being used in all our pages are not the 'real' one, I think it's good to change it to use the correct version. For the swirl we can copy logos/openlogo-nd-50.jpg to Pics/logo-50.jpg, for the word "debian", I have made the jpeg version from the eps logo, you can have a look at http://master.debian.org/~ypwong/debian-new.jpg Should I commit them to the CVS? -- Anthony Wong.

If you look closely you will find that the letters are different :) I think we should stick to the original design (besides I think it's prettier too :) To ensure that nothing breaks, I'll add one more line of pixel to the image to make the width to be 179 pixels wide. I'll commit later today. -- Anthony Wong.
Re: website's debian logo
Yes.. *do* commit and *do* copy the logos/ image like you suggested. Also.. make sure you change something and commit the template that uses (basic.wml? I'll have to check it out) so that the pages are remade with the proper HEIGHT and WIDTH parameters...
