I got an idea about this. I was thinking of getting packages descriptions from
DDTP files (Translation-<lang>). Isn't it possible to do something like
(writing PHP-style, since I don't know WML):
...header...
<?php
include ("data/packages.html")
?>
...footer...
This way, translators should only translate the header and the footer, since
the "inner data" is already translated from DDTP (or, if not, is in English).
But probably this might be a problem, since Charles told me that the pages
_must_ be fully translated. In this case we would have partially-translated
pages, if all the descriptions on DDTP are not available.

This would need patching wwwbuild though. I wanted to take a less "aggressive"
approach.

Those pages are manually updated. My script would just take the packages from
the task files I linked before, and update the pages accordingly.

You're coming to my previous point here: isn't it possible to have an "include"
command in WML (/me is googling for that) to get external HTML / XHTML / WML
sources? In that case, the only problem would be the write access to CVS for
the script.

It wasn't meant to be run that often ;)

I'm going to read it. :)
Thank you,
