 Javier, IMHO the spanish team is the last that should speak up in this
respect at all. You are really getting me mad. Could you *PLEASE* do at
least /minimal/ checks of the things you added?!

 Sorry, but yes, I'm upset. Your additions *regularly* break the build,
let alone really stupid mistakes like missing # infront of use or loads
of HTML tags. It seems like your so called translation team only does
the translation but never ever views the pages themselfs ever in spanish
language. If they would they would notice the breakages they introduced
at all. I am quite sure that the spanish readers are better of with
removed outdated spanish pages that are not broken anymore than with
badly broken ones.

 Yes, I regularly fix your pages, and Frank does too. If you check the
logs you might notice that. I do it because I care for the quality of
the webpage (and because it isn't that hard at all, mind you). But your
so called "team" isn't worth it. I would really really suggest you to do
some QA work on your pages _first_ before raising your voice that much.

 It also wasn't developed for careless translation coordinators.

 From what I noticed you do *NO* reviewing at all, so don't mention it.

 LART the person who was the reason for it, but not the system because
it isn't that bad at all.

 Feel free to instate a removal policy for packages. Do get a consent on
the appropriate list (debian-devel), like it was done for this. Yes, I
would vote for it, if you like. Works for me.

 So long,
