Hmm, idea: Why not just use the same structure as in /News/ and use get_recent_list to get the data in a proper fashion? -- \\// peter - http://www.softwolves.pp.se/ I do not read or respond to mail with HTML attachments.

I send on January, 16 a mail with subject: `add contact links to every page'. The goal was to avoid such a request on this ML ;) Denis

OTOH there's always the question of whether it's really necessary to put this on good translations where it will rarely be necessary :) -- 2. That which causes joy or happiness.

The debian-l10n-french ML is the right place for French speakers, I would prefer a link to it instead of my mailbox. And I guess this is true with all debian-l10n-* ML. Denis
used wrong email address
I have just accidentally posted a message to a list (debian-win32) using the wrong email address -- one which I endeavour to keep private ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and thus never use in public forums. Is there any chance that address might be removed from the archive, or changed to the one you see below? I'm really sorry to trouble you with this, I'm sure you've got better things to do, but I would be very grateful. Best wishes, J -- John Ineson - [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If I counted right, there are 7 such lists (not counting -english) and 23 translations, so the majority option is to point to the coordinators themselves. You can always replace it with your own stuff (We (Croatian) had a note about who to contact in there for years e.g.), this is clearly a place where such a change is allowed and encouraged. It merely needed a good default and now it has one. -- 2. That which causes joy or happiness.

At first glance you might think so, but do you >really want people saying '2.2r3 release of debian released'?) Personally I think these should be called releases, and instead of saying 'Debian xxx release released' we should say 'Debian xxx moved to stable'.
