... if you plan to integrate into the w.d.o/intl/l10n/* directories, you
shouldn't use neither dbx nor sql, but the text database used in there.

Thanks to Denis's work, this should be very easy. Check in the webwml cvs,
under the directory Perl/Webwml/L10n (do `pod2man Db.pm | man -l -' in
there).

I suspect that it would be even easier than implementing DBx or installing
SQL on debian servers.

For an example of how to use it, have a look at
<webwml>/english/international/l10n/scripts/gen-files.pl and more
specifically the get_stats_podebconf(), for example.


If you don't do so, I would say that it will be very difficult to integrate
your data to those pages, but that's only my opinion...
