It's kinda outdated, and I like checkbot's output (nothing against Treacy's
scripts). I'm running it from a remote machine for a while now (~1 day), and
I've scp'ed the very, very, very partial results here:
http://people.debian.org/~claviola/checkbot.html
If you people find it useful, I'll see if the admins like the idea and install
it on klecker, because it will allow much faster checks. (file:// is waaay
faster than intercontinental http access...)
I think it will be particularly useful for translators, although it might find
something interesting for the mainstream pages too.
