You should speak about - the problem of entities (global.ent) as used in some old translations and the main tree (deletes can make unbuildable manuals) - Jouni suggested to split up installation.xml also, as it is a hube beast now, and it is impossible to start the translation and finish it in a reasonable time (the same as with function files, mixed language). That is the most huge part, and there are some semi-sections (eg. Servers- prefix of titles), which are ugly IMHO, but with the current system, we can't do anything. - Extending docbook with namespaces. Also with drawbacks (design validity testing and other problems mentioned by Jirka). After reading the pdf through these things seemed to be important. Maybe more will come into my mind in the future. Goba
