Should we keep the Thanks, it was written hastily (sp?) historical (not produced anymore) distros? Second, the section on Corel IMHO yes. It's important to know both what happens and what happened. We could probably, though, make a new list with Historical distributions and add them in. A good example of why we should keep this information is Corel: it seems they have created a new company to market Corel Linux with a new name. My reasons for including it is the same that drives us to keep updated the project_history document: don't forget what happened before (so we can learn for the future) talks about KDE licensing issues. That doesn't seem relevant to this page. Shouldn't it be removed? No, it's part of Corel's history. I say we keep it there. We could also talk about the Open Source issues (Corel did not contribute that much to Debian AFAIK, whileas Progeny still does). IMHO. Regards Javi pgpJsCRgzzmsT.pgp Description: PGP signature

Hi! I removed Javier and Treacy from Cc-list for I know that they are on the list, but I'm not sure about Raphael.

It's important to know both what happens and what happened. We could probably, though, make a new list with Historical distributions and add them in. I would also say keep 'em. We also keep the hamm pages, don't we? The idea about seperating the active distros from the historical is a good one, though. One thing that bugged me a little bit when I translated the file is the part about Demolinux. While translating it I got the impression that I am writing about Knoppix. They also changed from a different distribution to Debian, I think even at the same version number. Is this demolinux really not just a rip off from Knoppix? Is it real, is it it's own? While reading that part I can't really believe this Well, that said, the part about probably the best distribution to use if you want to just give Linux a try -- don't get me wrong but I guess Knoppix is just as good. Did anyone try both and compared them somewhere? I am not really sure if we should propose Demolinux over Knoppix (or the other way round), IMHO we shouldn't take a position in that decision.

There is a comment in common_translation.wml where this void tag is defined, it makes msgids unique (dc_faq and faq-bottom have the same English text) and thus allow translators putting different translations. Thus it is useless in translations. There are no fuzzy entries because English text is almost never changed, but if they were, run: $ cd webwml/german/po $ for f in *.po; do msgfmt --statistics -o /dev/null $f; done In PO files, fuzzy entries are marked with a line #, fuzzy and untranslated text means that msgstr is empty. Text editors often provide some PO mode to help editing these files. Last but not least, please do not yet modify PO files, or changes will be lost when I synchronize with .wml source files. Denis

klecker upgraded to woody
Moo, FYI, I upgraded klecker to woody. As with auric, I did some package spring cleaning, although with slightly less fascism since I'm not sure about what ran on klecker. If I removed something needed for whatever klecker becomes now, just yell. The one thing I'm fairly sure broke is the postgresql upgrade, it whined about unexpected characters in unicode string during the restore of the search db, so that probably got broke. If it's not regeneratable, there's a backup... Oh, since the search db is inanely large (3Gb?) I moved the postgresql dir to /org. -- James
