I suppose I should fix this before the sarge release...
Sorry about that.

Yeah, that's up with that anyway?  I haven't been following -www very
closely recently, so apologies for possible repeating discussion, but
what's the status of Debian's search?

There is on the main page an ugly white ruler with black on white
settings.  Otherwise it looks good.

These files are now generated, but Jutta's pages at
  http://www.witch.westfalen.de/debian/dwww/vote/
should be more up-to-date.

I can't really find any code that creates or updates this. Should
probably just be removed.

@Matt (or any other webmaster): Could you do this, plz?

Actually the woody installmanual uses a mix. The links in the
manual itself don't use content negotiation. I guess this was
done to provide a initial link for all languages (e.g.
http://www.debian.org/releases/woody/alpha/install) but prevent
the problems you mentioned.

The link issue means that a change in build.sh would not be enough to
change the scheme, though. Good that you mentioned it :)

My $.02:  Having .. is great for content negotiation,
but really stinks when you're trying to have a look at a version of the
manual for a language other than your browser's preferred language, because
all the links get pointed back to URLs that go through content negotiation.

I will investigate this.

For the release notes, all preparations are finished, so there is
nothing left to do by the webmasters.
For the installation manual, there are still the same questions
remaining I brought up some months ago on d-boot (I can search the mail
in the archives, if you want, but it's probably unecessary):

1) AFAIK the install-manual can't be build with the tools available
in woody, only on sarge (and sid, of course). So the most important
question is: Can we arrange for the manual to be build on klecker
or do we need to build it somewhere else and then rsync it to klecker?
(klecker = www-master). Some time after the release the problem will
vanish of course.

2) The current installmanual for woody uses the layout
/.., the sarge installmanual uses
./.. I think we would prefer the old layout
(which would require some changes in build.sh, AFAICS).

Hmm, I guess the last version I reviewed hadn't yet bold "main entries".

Looks all good to me. We could perhaps find a better placement for your
