Hello writers and translators,

As you may have seen, the webpage for the d-i manual [1] has been changed. 
Because we are getting closer to the official release of d-i for Sarge, I 
feel it is important that information presented to users should be 
up-to-date.
So, even if you do not do any new translations, please try to keep up-to-date 
with changes in the original English version (see also [2]).
A table showing languages that are clearly out-of-date is appended below.

With this in mind, I have created a separate table on [1] with only the i386 
version of the translation for some languages. These builds are mainly for 
the translators themselves (for checking the results of their work).
If you would like your translation moved back to the main table, please 
contact me.


There are still some sections that refer to the Woody release and need to be 
removed or updated to Sarge. I will be attending the d-i meeting in Oldenburg 
[3] next week and plan to do some work there (hopefully with the help of Joeh 
and others).


I am thinking of moving the ./module directory to ./using-d-i/modules for all 
languages. I feel this would be more consistent with ./boot-new/modules.
I will probably do this next Wednesday.
If you have any comments on this, please let me know.


Creating PDF's for the manual is still an issue that needs solving. Currently 
it is only possible using non-free packages and the result is far from 
perfect.
