As the soft freeze has now started and there have been quite a few changes over the past few days, I feel it's time for a little status update. Because of an error during a change in my "daily" build scripts, some languages currently do not have their translation on alioth. I have put placeholders for the index.html pages and things will be fixed again automatically with the next successful build. Sorry for any inconvenience. You've probably seen that I'm doing builds more frequently at the moment. This is both to get PO files updated ASAP after changes in the original text and to allow you to catch errors as early as possible. I will keep building more frequently as needed (based on the number of commits I see), but not according to a fixed schedule.

I think the new text is a lot more sane. Comments on that are very welcome as well: - http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.i386/ch02s05.html - http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.i386/ch03s04.html - http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.i386/apds02.html > - possibly some updates by porters. There has been a full review for Sarge (which actually had been already done some time ago, but never translated to actual changes), and some revision of info for other arches. Quite some obsolete cruft has been removed which hopefully improves the readability of the manual a bit. > This should all be done by the end of this week though. Well, almost :-) Thanks a lot for the reports of typos and such! I don't think we'll need to do any more big changes in _existing_ text, but I would like to try and add some information: - graphical installer - some missing bits about installation of tasks (pkgsel) - maybe document a bit about mirror selection, which I noticed is currently undocumented If I do, I'll try to do it ASAP (tomorrow at the latest). Unless you all start to protest very loudly... > STATUS OF TRANSLATIONS > ====================== Most translations have started their updates, and some have almost caught up (which is impressive with such a moving target). I've seen a first commit for Korean. I will ping translators that have not yet started on their l10n lists. Cheers, FJP
