More typos in website



Hi Matt and others,

I attached a patch which fixes a few more typos which mainly affects
mail.wml files.

One of this changes is s/source.list/sources.list/. I hope I'm right and
source.list was never a valid conffile.

I also rephrased a sentence in events/requirements.wml which is currently
completly senseless.

>From one of my old mails I extracted
$ grep -ri '[a-z]full[^a-z]' english/
which finds many wrong words such as "sucessfull" instead of "successful".

PS: I still do not know how to handle GPG signed mails but I noticed
that often the signature doesn't match the message because "<" was replaced
by "&lt;", ...
