Bug#199626: www.d.o/international/ should note debconf templates

My own opinion is that the ddtp has several flaws, and until they
are fixed, I am not sure that translating via the DDTP is a good thing.

Darn,

It is me.  Can web admin make sure followings are met on the machine
building these web page :-) Is it 
www.debian.org (gluck.debian.org)
www-master.debian.org (klecker.debian.org)

As for packages to be installed:

Build-Depends-Indep: debhelper (>> 3.0.0), debiandoc-sgml(>= 1.1.67), 
tetex-bin, tetex-extra, w3m (>= 0.3) | w3m-ssl (>= 0.3) | w3mmee (>= 0.3), 
cjk-latex, freetype1-tools, tfm-arphic-bsmi00lp, tfm-arphic-bkai00mp, 
tfm-arphic-gbsn00lp, tfm-arphic-gkai00mp, hbf-jfs56, hbf-cns40-b5, hbf-kanji48


These font may on testing or they may not be used at all.  But it is
safe to have for CJK supports.  Next time , I may have Korean.  Then my
own language Japanese.

There is no JavaScript on the front page of www.debian.org ... it's
plain old HTML. I think you'd be better off reporting this to Opera
instead.

 http://www.debian.org/

does not use javascript (nor does

I realize Opera is (non)free software, but..

I'm using Opera 7.11, and some javascript on the main page cause Opera
to crash/die/abort/quit running.

It is annoying when trying to gather info, to have my web browser of
choice, suddenly cease to be running.

Thought you might be interested.

Who's using Debian

[markus schatzl]

Organization:
Brain Imaging Lab, Department of Neurology, University of Regensburg, Germany

Type:
educational

Homepage-link:
http://www.uni-regensburg.de/Fakultaeten/Medizin/Neurologie

Why:
We run a handful of workstations on a slightly customized Woody (e.g. 
2.4.20-openMosix-kernel). These machines mainly do very I/O- and 
CPU-intensive image-processing using SPM and Matlab. Another server does FTP 
and SSH-accounting as well as serving as NFS-repository.

We choose Debian because we were in need of a _really_ stable base for our 
research where even a small project takes an enourmous amount of time and 
nerves and of course because the ease of updating packages, security issues 
and the feeling of reliability and concept I got over the years using Debian 
personally.

Not someone, something. Whenever the archive pulses the update, it cvs up's

Yeah, I guess. {m} can be the default if unspecified.

Oh yes :)

"Ovo izdanje DWN-a su prevele %s."

Thankfully, the forms for male plural and male+female plural are equal. :)

Yes. Male form would be:

"Ovo izdanje DWN-a je preveo %s."

whereas the female form would be:

"Ovo izdanje DWN-a je prevela %s."

It can be worked around by using some more crude, generic verbiage, but the
above form is the normal one.

No :) but there can be some in other languages that do this and we should
not be caught off guard :)

Re: Rawwrite für Windows

[Gerfried Fuchs]

Hi!

 For the english speakers, Max suggested a link to rawrite for windows,
which we already have in our install manual ,-)  I'm asking him if he
likes to propose changes to it might be easier to find them for others.

 Eine Deiner Anlaufschwierigkeiten ist es offensichtlich, die richtige
Mailing-Liste und vor allem die richtige Sprache dafür zu finden ;-)
Auf debian-www wird in in englisch gesprochen, und hier geht es um die
Webseiten ansich.

> Da ich auch von DOS keine Ahnung habe um die Disketten-ISO`s zu

  hast Du gefunden,
nehme ich an, oder?  Dort gibt es den Punkt
"4.3 Disketten aus Images erstellen", der den Unterpunkt
"4.3.2 Erstellen der Disketten von einem Image unter DOS, Windows oder
OS/2" hat.

> Es ist auch GNU/Public License. Vielleicht hilft es ja dem einen oder

 Es sind in obig genanntem Punkt zwei Links zu rawrite vorhanden. Wo war
Dein Problem mit diesen Links, wieso hast Du sie nicht gefunden, und was
können wir tun, damit dieses Problem in Zukunft nicht mehr auftaucht?
Ist die Installationsanleitung Deiner Meinung nach zu unübersichtlich,
oder wo siehst Du das Problem?

 Und wenn Du die Diskettenimages gefunden hast, wieso hast Du nicht
gleich ins Verzeichnis nebenan namens "dosutils"[1] geschaut, dort ist
rawrite2.exe auch vorhanden.
