Not really: tho PO files are always generated from the source files
(index.html.en here).

> I'm attaching it here.

Attached the actual patch against the source file with your proposals (I
already fixed a s/do/doesn't/ you spotted, thanks for that, directly in
the source and took care of the trivial unfuzzy), after re-wrapping the
generated file to minimize the diff.

Please note that, even if I can't judge of the quality of your
proposals, I would prefer *not* to commit them as is.

A few remarks after a quick glance:

I'm not fond of uppercase everywhere, is there a rationale for that change?

I'm not fond of exclamation marks either, is there a rationale for that
change?

Your patch needs proofread (“adminstration”), and I'm not fond of the
personal point of view (“your network”, while it should actually be the
school's network).

Your patch is IMHO a good start to improve this welcome page, and since
it's always displayed during the first start, it would be nice to give
it all the love it needs. On the other hand, the release is pretty soon,
and it would be a shame to break any of the ten translations that are
complete right now. So, I propose to ask for a quick review on the
debian-l10n-english list, that must be finished for the next weekend,
and then send a short translation call (~5 days), hoping all translators
will be able to make it before the following weekend.

Unless someone objects, I'll send tomorrow the request for review,
keeping this list CC.

Regards

David
