Of course - just please wait for me until Monday, at most Tuesday.

Why don't you set up refcard as an Alioth project, managed by CVS? We
could do something (albeit simplified, as this is not a vast set of
pages) similar to webwml for Debian's web site translations. And the
'refcard' Alioth project could handle more than just this reference
card - Many, more specialized reference cards for Debian's many
subsystems and even packages - In effect, a refbook :) What do you
think?

Well, back to the webwml point... Translations can mention to which
CVS revision of the original (usually in English) they will point. A
tracker can even be set up, such as
http://www.debian.org/devel/website/stats
