Re: Debian WWW CVS
I'm quite happy to see someone taking on a translation to Polish.
I have noticed a lot of Linux users from Poland so I'm sure this
will be appreciated by many people.

There are a few webmasters, but I am the only one taking care of giving
people access to CVS. Having a rather large family, holidays can be quite
hectic and I am only now catching up on anything new that happened in
the last few weeks.

There were some problems yesterday. I am guessing it is because the max
CVS connections limit was reached. Everything should be fine now.

This is not necessary. Translators only have access to the web CVS so there
isn't too much damage they can do.
Doing translation can become tedious with time so I hope you
make some requests for additional translators. I have been leaving
it up to the translation coordinator for each translation to decide
how they organize the translation. I am trying to avoid having to
manage a large number of CVS passwords (it's not succeeding though
as there are already over 20).
Your CVS password will be sent in a seperate mail.
