Ask an ye shall receive. There is a test version of the new International page at http://cgi.debian.org/www-master/debian.org/international/ If I get positive feedback, I'll replace the current international page with this one. The main page contains some introductory text and links to the languag

How about a vacation facility like the bug tracking system for recording when Developers are on vacation? We could have [EMAIL PROTECTED] when you send a pgp signed mail formatted like this: Leave: 21 Aug 1999 Destination: London, UK Return: 24 Aug 1999 And have the information appear on http://

Strange error on Swedish news index

1999-08-07 Thread peter karlsson
The Swedish version of the news page seems not to have been updated correctly with regard to the latest two news items. The front page has, and my local copy was rebuilt correctly, so I can't see why the copy on debian.org hasn't been updated correctly. http://www.debian.org/News/index.sv.html --
