Thanks, I reworded the part a bit. It had some spelling errors and I tried
to clarify the text a little. Please tell me what you think of the
changes, they are easily reverted if you prefer your own text.

I don't think keeping two files with the same content is a good idea. I
uploaded your policy.pod to the website/ part of the SVN repository. I
updated this to reflect the changes to policy.txt. We should delete
policy.txt now if .pod is our prefered format (I don't have a preference).

Joachim, how is the website updated? Didn't you script an automatic update
script for the .html file in the documentroot? I can't seem to find the
script... Can you please add the policy text to be html-ized as well?
