Good catch. This shows really have to be careful when using content negotiation.
I've fixed both of these and they will be at your favorite mirror within
12 hours or so.

I like them.  Good work!  A few nits.

The link on the developer's corner page that I think should go to the list 
of developers instead brings up the xearth image.  The "visit the sponsor"
image on the home page just brings the image up in an image browser, it does
not actually take me anywhere.

I didn't have long to spend, will let you know if I run into anything else as
I troll later tonight.

I'd like to keep the different language versions in sync
as much as possible. Only translations based on the new version of
the pages will be allowed. That's why I've been putting off offers
of translation until now.

One nice thing about using content negotation is that you can translate
one document at a time. All untranslated docs will just be presented
in another language available (defaulting to English).

The one document that I will be asking for translators for as soon as
it is ready is the install docs. I will announce it's availability on
debian-www so subscribe there if you want to work on it.

They look great :-)

You've gone back to calling www.uk ``England'' though...

I still prefer ``Britain'' to ``United Kingdom'', but either will do.

Cheers, Phil.

Very cool. How can I add the translated version?

I have some Japanese translations (based on the previous version,
though). I'd like to catch up the latest version and release them.

New web pages are finally up!

1998-06-25 Thread James A . Treacy
The latest version of the Debian web pages are complete.
They are being mirrored to www.debian.org as I write this.

The new pages use content negotation to decide what version
should be served when there is more than one choice. This
is used to automatically give a document in a users prefered
language, if it is available, while giving the default version
(english in our case) when there is no choice.

The pages also use wml to handle some of the complexity
of a large web site such as ours from the document writers.
It also allows for some nice automation. For example
when the main page is created from the .wml file, the
titles of the most recent news items are automatically
added to the page. Pretty slick. Now all that is needed
is for people to send news items to webmaster. :)

Finally, I'd like to thank Thomas Apel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
for the layout of the new pages and Anthony Fok
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for setting up the wml.

Now it's time for bed.
