Ok, but I'm not DD and have not direct access on the server. I cannot (as in
"dont know how to") modify the makefiles and/or crontabs so that the stuff
is checkouted from the d-i CVS. 

This may also lead to difficulties for individuals to checkout the stuff and
test locally their changes before commiting them. You'd have to checkout the
d-i stuff at the right location of your checkouted webwml tree.

And where would the translations be placed then? 

Beside of that, I agree that keeping the documentation and the code close
is a good idea and that we should at least try.

Well, I guess I'll get flamed since I've so little free time for now, but
I'm prepared to this eventuality :)
