Looks like it.  The wmwave.html page is built from the package
description, however, so that's where it needs to be fixed.  A bug has
already been filed against the package regarding this problem.  Maybe
you can politely prod the maintainer to get it fixed.  =)

  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=125502

I have CC'd this message to that bug so your note gets recorded in the
bug's history.

  I am successfully installed debian.
  apt works normally.
  but i can't find descriptions for PPC-only packages from this site

  Steps to feel bug:
  1. go to http://packages.debian.org
  2. select stable distribution
  3. select other os's and file systems
  4. package MOL should appear, but is doesn't.

  package searcher not searches this packages too


  if i search package by name, mol package appera to be not founded.

  and when i search package by filename, for example "startmol" -
  greate! it found! but when i click to description link, server say
  404  ;-(

  why only i386 and all-platform packages showed???

  where i must choose architecture

  If you able, please write me in Russian. english isn't my
  foreign language

 This is a known problem that has been filed as bugreport against the
www.debian.org at least three times: #141618, #131631 and #146675.
Though no solution was found yet, sorry.

>   where i must choose architecture

 You can't do that currently, unfortunately.

 Sorry, my mother tongue is german for I'm from austria.  The russian
website translators seem to be quite busy anyway, They lag quite a bit
behind with their translations so I wouldn't expect an answer from them
anytime soon...

 So long,
Alfie

Re: [wwwac] New (to me at least) spammer tactic

I've seen simple letter spacing techniques used like: 
V * I * A * G * R * A

But the worst ones are with headers like "hey" or "re:" with come from 
addresses with real
sounding names - I always get suckered into opening them because you never know.

I've been trying to get my e-mail address removed from public websites.

I've contacted the twits at Debian.org a few times with no luck:
http://lists.debian.org/spi-general/2000/spi-general-22/msg6.html

What's bad about this is that my address is there because someone else cc:ed me 
on a mailing list.
You can bitch all you like about Microsoft, but they never put my e-mail 
address on a website
without my permission. I've asked to be removed in the past only to be told 
"that they couldn't
because it's a volunteer organization".

What's even worse is that two other websites have reproduced the posts off of 
their websites:

http://archive.develooper.com/perl6-porters@perl.org/msg00095.html

http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/perl6-porters/2000-02/msg00034.html

By the way NYLUG has done this to me as well:

http://www.nylug.org/mlist/nylug-talk_mhonarc/2001-09/msg00214.html

So if you are ever wondering why you may be getting spam at your e-mail address 
on the wwwac list
it may be because someone on the list without thinking posted it to an HTML 
page. 

It wouldn't be so bad, but I'm getting over 100 spams per day on average - but 
I need to keep my
e-mail address as it's important to my business.

Michael

The only bit I, as an English speaker, object to is this line:

  Manoj has been Project secretary since April 2001; after the previous
  office bearer, Darren Benham, faded away out of the Project.

The phrase following the semicolon doesn't make sense on its own.  The
sentence looks ugly if you replace the ';' with ',' so I would suggest a
partial rewrite like this:

  Manoj has been Project secretary since April 2001; he took up the
  position after the previous office bearer, Darren Benham, faded away
  out of the Project.

Also, I'm not sure but "Current Incumbent" might be a tautology; my
reading of 'incumbent' is 'person currently holding office'.  So how
about "Current Officebearer", "Current Secretary" or "About Our
Secretary (2001 to present)"?

Andrew.

"previous office bearer" is really awkward. How about "previous secretary"?

Again, "office bearer" is really ugly.

Instead of:

  Unlike other delegates, who are appointed by the Project Leader,
  the Project Secretary is appointed by the Project Leader and the
  current Project Secretary.

try:

  Unlike other delegates, who are appointed by the Project Leader,
  the next Project Secretary is appointed by the Project Leader and
  the current Project Secretary.


I could've sworn the text on that page was changing between brown and
black. Maybe it's a Mozilla bug, or maybe I'm going insane :-) Looking
at the source, it must be the :hover attribute. As soon as I hover
over the text it all goes brown. Maybe that should be fixed... by
changing to A:hover, perhaps?
