Yes, we received your information (for all 3 times that you filled out the 
form). Unfortunately, this is a mostly manual process and I only add 
batches of new entries every few weeks. Sorry - please be patient.

To the mailing list:

Ideally, there should be an automated system where each vendor only submits 
a single URL. A script would then crawl the vendor's pages to a certain 
depth at regular intervals, and filter out pages that contain predefined 
tags for the different Debian CD/DVD variants. This would also make it easy 
to weed out stale entries, sites that are down etc. Unfortunately, I never 
quite get around to implementing something like this. What script languages 
are accepted for this type of thing on Debian servers? (I'm much more of a 
PHP than Perl person...)

Cheers,

  Richard
