Correct. But then, I saw a number of other GNU projects' pages also no longer strictly applying the main gnu.org style. And thanks to the wonders of CSS, we could align rather easily. > I don't know how translations are handled today. This is something one might > want to check. Our translated pages are -- apart from static documents -- totally lacking behind. I decided for myself that retaining the translated pages is not worth it, save perhaps the really static ones, like ``Towards a New Strategy of OS Design'' and equal calibres. Also, there are already plans and beginnings of the implementation for a translation framework within the ikiwiki software, where the existing bits could be incorporated as soon as that's deployed. > I have not checked the policy in a long time.

That's one part of what I meant when I said that ``the wiki's current appearance doesn't match up with the ``solid'' appearance of the Hurd homepage'' (the other part being layout, cleanliness, etc.). For example, we currently have instructions about (a) running the Hurd on the non-free vmware, <http://www.thomas.schwinge.homeip.net/hurd-wiki/hurd/running.html>. Neal added (b) a bunch of links to scientific papers. That's both not on par with the ``Guidelines for GNU Web Site Volunteers'', <http://www.gnu.org/server/standards/>, at least as I read them. What to do? I'd certainly very much like to keep at least (b). Regards, Thomas
