Looks like it isn't. Craig should know, he set that one up.

*/todo.wml l10n pages make little sense

[peter karlsson]

Hi!

What is "Those packages could not be parsed because of their source
format (e.g. an asterisk is put after packages in dbs format), [...]"
supposed to mean (templates/todo.wml), and likewise "Those packages are
either not i18n-ed or stored in an unparseable format, e.g. an asterisk
is put after packages in dbs format, which may then contain localized
files." in the po/todo.wml file?

I kind of get a parse error there when I try to make any sense of it
(and that makes it a bit hard to translate...)

Package: www.debian.org
Version: 20010201
Severity: wishlist

When you visit http://www.debian.org/intl/l10n/l10n-lang-es
you can find the list of .po files already translated into Spanish
(even if partially). But there are several packages listed with a "-" 
instead of the data about the corresponding po file (see for instance
the entry for "aegis".

I guess that some note should be included about what "-" means in
this context, or to include the .po file if possible, or maybe some
instructions on how to start the translation for that package, if
that is possible.

If somebody can explain me what should be done to start translations
in those cases, I can write the note myself.

Hi,

If you look at http://www.de.debian.org/intl/l10n/po/es now, you'll notice
that the aegis package isn't listed, and in fact the packages where there is
no translation available are listed under a whole different page.

Arguably there should be information about starting a new translation, but
not on these pages, these are merely statistics.

And that's a whole new bug. :)

Thanks for reporting.

Bug#100148: Wishlist, actually

severity 100148 wishlist
thanks

I just noticed that we would lose the nice ability to easily count how many
people switch to a different mirror if we moved to a system that doesn't
include invoking the CGI. So, since there are two cons to implementing this
after all (the other being the increase in file sizes), I'm marking this bug
as wishlist instead of minor.

Bug#98811: about XHTML compliance

[Josip Rodin]

Hi,

It would be good if someone provided a thorough list of things we'd have to
change. It's not like me and other fifty or so people who edit the web pages
can't go to w3.org and read the 46 pages (+ the DTDs and whatnot) of the
specification ;) but if at least an overview of required changes was
available (maybe it exists already?) that would speed up closing of this
bug.

According to google, this very useful SGML-HOWTO is not linked from any

It was posted on the debian-doc list this afternoon. I'd like to suggest
adding it into the ddp page at

http://www.debian.org/doc/ddp ,

under the Miscellaneous Manuals, Todo list or cvs access items. This seems
to be the section people would find who wish to help with documentation.

In addition, within the SGML-HOWTO document, on

http://people.debian.org/%7Ebortz//SGML-HOWTO/potato/x59.html ,

there is a broken link to the DDP, which should be corrected to

http://www.debian.org/doc/ddp

I'm not sure where the 'DebianDoc' link should point to, presumably to a
page showing the DTD itself.

That can be done... though not for contents -- there are no Contents files

I hacked the scripts a little bit and made it happen, see
http://packages.debian.org/experimental/

However, this distribution differs from the other ones significantly with
the fact it depends on packages that aren't in it. Starting with libc6, most
if not all dependencies cannot be resolved within it, and the scripts
(obviously) aren't programmed to take other distributions into account.
