Please find, for review, the debconf templates of tgif.
This review will last from Saturday, January 01, 2011 to Tuesday,
January 11, 2011.
Please send reviews as unified diffs (diff -u) against the original
files. Comments about your proposed changes will be appreciated.
Your review should be sent as an answer to this mail.
When appropriate, I will send intermediate requests for review, with
"[RFRn]" (n>=2) as a subject tag.
When we will reach a consensus, I send a "Last Chance For
Comments" mail with "[LCFC]" as a subject tag.
Finally, the reviewed templates will be sent to the package maintainer
as a bug report, and a mail will be sent to this list with "[BTS]" as
a subject tag.

Tgif has little to do with GIF files. It is a 2-D vector based drawing
program which can produce output suitable for LaTeX or in PostScript.
"facility" doesn't seem a very good word; it's really a tool that provides
a facility.
The long description could really do with being a bit longer; it doesn't
specify why I should want it or what it can do that other programs can't.
However, the homepage doesn't contain any more detail - even the getting
started guide has almost as short a description. Carlo, do you have any
suggestions?
