Right. I don't know if that's doable at this point or not. If not and if we really wanted to there are some possible workarounds, like the hack we used for popularity-contest. > In that thread, there was also a question > about translation.

Translaton would be nice, but IMHO it's not a blocker for this, we're not at the point of having all of debian translated, and news items would not appear during the base-config part of the install, which is as far as we've gotten with near-complete translations so far. > On a vaguely related note, recently some folks have noted that the display > of news is not easily distinguished from the display of changelogs, which is > disconcerting to those who are accustomed to seeing the changelogs (it looks > like an incomplete changelog display).

I thought it used to put news at the top with a header and then changelogs, and I found this more obvious than the current display of news in one pager, and changelogs in the second. -- see shy jo
