Maybe you can add an hint for the README.Debain to the Description? HTH! Alfie -- To err is human, To purr feline. -- Robert Byrne
Re: information
French at the end. / Francais a la fin. Alain, you are suppose to send e-mail to this list in English. If you can't do that, you are suppose to look for a list in your own language. For French you can try this page: http://www.debian.org/international/French;. Or send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with subscribe your_email_address in the body (not in the subject). Or write to debian-l10n-french@lists.debian.org. Concerning your request, I am not sure I understand correctly. You want to translate from Croatian to French? How Debian can help you with that? For tehnical aspects regarding the translation you may want to look at http://www.debian.org/devel/website/; or http://www.debian.org/devel/website/index.XX.html;, where XX = the two letters from the contry code. DEBIAN PEUT T-IL M`AIDER. JE VEUX ETRE CAPABLE DE LIRE UNE PAGE WEB DE LA CROATIE ET DE LA TRADUIRE EN FRANCAIS.S.V.P COMMENT FAIRE. UN GROS MERCI A DEBIAN. ALAIN Alain, tu doit envoyer messages en anglais pour ce liste. Si tu peut pas, essaye de trouve une liste dans ta langue. Pour francais regarde la page http://www.debian.org/international/French; ou http://www.debian.org/international/French.fr.html; si la precedente n'est pas en francais. Tu pourra aussi t'enregistre dans la liste [EMAIL PROTECTED] si tu envoye un message avec subscribe votre_adresse_email dans le corps du message (pas le sujet). Ou tu peut ecrire a debian-l10n-french@lists.debian.org. Concernant ta demande, je ne suis pas sure que je bien compri. Tu veut traduire en francais un document croat? Comment Debian peut t'aide avec ca? Les aspectes techique concernant la traductions sont a la page http://www.debian.org/devel/website/; ou http://www.debian.org/devel/website/index.XX.html; (XX = les deux letter qui sont le code de la pays).

Re: broken mirror registration form

Please always tell us which language you are using (or which lang is displayed) The html page stops displaying after the line Arten des Spiegels und Zugriffsmethoden Ok, so it's the German version. I've found the problem, when I translated the page I missed one /table, so two tables weren't closed, which screwed up the output. Will be fixed in max. 6 hrs, it's fixed in cvs already. Strange to say that the page source seems to be correct. No, it's not. Look: trtdDebian-Webseiten, über NFS: tdinput type=text name=www-nfs size=30 table summary= That should have been a closing table Apart from that, the lines look strange...

Some connection limit? If so could urlcheck be advised to check such an address later? Additionally, could urlcheck cache pages? The default timeout is quite long (2min?) and causes the script to take an incredibly long time to run so I used a signal to shorten it.

Having the ending tag for TD and TR is strictly optional in HTML. Really? I always thought that HTML was strict about those tags, especially since Netscape tends to stop working or behave strangely when some of them are missing. However, even if they're optional, we're trying to provide good HTML, or not? Regards, Joey -- Those who don't understand Unix are condemned to reinvent it, poorly.
Re: mirror/submit.wml
Martin Schulze: Really? Yes. I have never ever written a single /TD or /TR in a page, and all my pages work perfectly. (Of course I've stopped using tables for layout now, but I still have tables for content). However, even if they're optional, we're trying to provide good HTML, or not? Not having /TD is not good HTML (IMHO). Not unless we're trying to do XHTML, which requires them. -- \\// peter - http://www.softwolves.pp.se/ Statement concerning unsolicited e-mail according to Swedish law: http://www.softwolves.pp.se/peter/reklampost.html
