Patch against DPN 01
Hi,
I noticed during working on the German translation that issue 1 of the
Debian Project News contains still many errors. The attached patch tries
to fix a few. Please proofread so that I can apply it.
I especially wonder about the quotes in "Bristol Wireless" paragraph
and assume <q> was bogusly used instead of <p>. Hope this is right.
PS: I know that DPN preferres British English but I find "programme"
instead of "program" a little bit obscure :-)
Jens
