Please find, for review, the debconf templates and packages descriptions for the mopd source package.
This review will last from Friday, January 02, 2009 to Monday, January 12, 2009.
Please send reviews as unified diffs (diff -u) against the original
files. Comments about your proposed changes will be appreciated.
Your review should be sent as an answer to this mail.
When appropriate, I will send intermediate requests for review, with
"[RFRn]" (n>=2) as a subject tag.
When we will reach a consensus, I send a "Last Chance For
Comments" mail with "[LCFC]" as a subject tag.
Finally, the reviewed templates will be sent to the package maintainer
as a bug report, and a mail will be sent to this list with "[BTS]" as
a subject tag.

String templates are generally worded as "prompts". Hence following
that usage.

This template is more an "error" than a note....
Complete sentences as discouraged as synopsis for such templates...
I splitted the paragraphs in shorter paragraphs to improve readability.
I'm not entirely happy with my wording for the second
paragraphs. Other -l10n-english readers (and native speakers...),
suggestions welcomed !

See po-debconf(7) for tricks about "#flag"....
Splitting choices for easier translation. The third one is not
translatable, of course.

+ If you want mopd to listen on all interfaces, please choose 'all'.
Splitting in two sentences and paragraphs.
I am not happy at all with the package description, but I can't find
anything. I have no idea what MOPD is....and I'm afraid that the
package description doesn't help for this...:-)
Maintainer, it's probably up to you to explain us what is
MOPD.... ;and that would become the package description...:-)
