that is where the diagrams live. The "curent debian diagram" is the one that
has the Dia 'source' file. So I used Dia to produce it. Learning to use Dia,
that is left as an exercise to the reader.
I did have it translated by the help of various people and that was made
possible by the fact that the dia format is a gziped text file. So you need to:
gunzip the file
open the file in a text editor
replace English with $lang
gzip the file
open in Dia and make adjustments
The other diagram about Debian Packages, I need to find the SVG file. But its
much less complex to make.
I was asked about the license, and I guess CC-BY would be what I would use.

Don't let your mind wander -- it's too little to be let out alone.
