Do I need to do anything special more than translate the search.wml (very few changes there) and the search strings in the PO file (those were already translated)? When I generate search.sv.html I get a file that is broken: 1. It has comments before the DOCTYPE declaration. 2. It declares UTF-8 encoding but the generated document is in my local encoding (iso-8859-1). -- \\// Peter - http://www.softwolves.pp.se/ I do not read or respond to mail with HTML attachments.

I was expecting someone would apply the patch against the English file, and translators for other languages would follow at their leisure. The only thing added to the other-language files was a '(mirror [en])' link with "mirror" being in the respective language (as best as I could work out from othere references in the same document), which I thought was better than nothing. If you change the English one to '(mirror [en])' then it all matches nicely ...

That's confusing for users -- what is the significance of the fact it's available at the LDP to the user who reads this? Will the users who happen to stumble upon a broken www.dirac.org go back to our page, search for an alternative link, and actually find it? There should be one, working link. I think we should just change the URL to use tldp.org, on whose availability we already depend for other pages. -- 2. That which causes joy or happiness.

And I do not see what is wrong with providing a backup link to a document. I mean, on that very same page, links are provided to Jigdo files on a "USA mirror" and "European mirror". Really, joy, I think that refutes your own argument: there are two links to Jigdo sources so that visitors can choose which source they wish to use, and have an alternative if their first choice is unavailable (server down, machine room on fire, ISP routing issues, etc). Do you disagree on this? If so, then there are dozens of mirrors of the Debian web site for what particular reason? =) Andrew. -- Andrew Shugg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://shugg.net/andrew/ "I don't want to go to heaven with a headache, I'd be all cross and wouldn't enjoy it!"

Do you disagree on this? If > so, then there are dozens of mirrors of the Debian web site for what > particular reason? =) Those mirrors exist because it's _often_ slow or impossible for users to access the same site (www.d.o). (Well, that's one reason, the other reason is plain old backwards compatibility or even inertia.) For this, we could have one single site. Another reason the patch was broken is because it didn't say "Here's the HOWTO: ", it said "Here's the , blah blah blah. Here's another to the same thing.". Remember how users only spend eight seconds per page, and you'll notice the world of difference there :) The questions in the first paragraph of my message touched this topic, but didn't elaborate much on it. Note that I'm in general all for redundancy via mirrors. Bug #171297 illustrates this nicely. :) -- 2. That which causes joy or happiness.

events reports
Hi! I know that reports for the events are a good thing. Unfortunately they are not promoted correctly. So I thought why not adding links to them from the events overview pages directly? I am willing to provide a patch for that, changes to the following templates: get_recent_list.wml, event.wml and past_event.wml, and of course to the events that have reports in them. I guess having a tag on its own for the report is a good idea anyway, and the title should be put into one of the po domains. Personally I think this is a good idea but I don't want to start with it before the events people (is there someone else than Joey?) didn't say that they at least don't dislike it.
