Good point.

I wish I could help you here, but I have no idea how to modify the web
pages on the skolelinux.org site. I've tried several times, without
success so far.
Perhaps it is time to cancel the experiment using a publishing system
for skolelinux.org, and go with something simpler? If I remember
correctly, someone decided to drop the CVS access system we had to
update the web pages to be able to
- make it easier for non-technical people to contribute
- make it easier to handle translations of the web pages.
Neither of these have been accomplished as far as I know.
The German team uses a wiki, <URL:http://www.skolelinux.de/wiki/>, and
we also have a wiki available from Debian,
<URL:http://wiki.debian.net/DebianEdu>. Perhaps we should use a wiki
for skolelinux.org as well?
Personally, I want to be able to work offline on web pages, and
commit/upload them to the server when I get online, and I also want to
get an email with the diff of the documents whenever something is
changed on the web pages. I would also like to be _able_ to update
the web pages. Neither of these wishes are fulfilled on
skolelinux.org today.
Are there wikis around which work the way I want it to work? Are
there wikis available making it easy to administrate and handle
translations?
