As always, a splendid job from Joerg on the translation! Thanks, Joerg! Having these announcements go out in the local language on the country-wide groups is a real plus, and I'd very much like to encourage any of the other bilingual (or multilingual, like Joerg :) folks to do the same for other newsgroups. A swedish version of the announcement posted to the scandanavian countries, perhaps? A French version and, of course, Italian? I think Joerg provides an excellent template to be followed for any of the other west-european languages, and some of you probably already have the relnotes from 2.0.5 translated and can easily update them (you'll note that I didn't make too many changes to the original english relnotes for 2.0.5!). Anyway, just a suggestion from one who doesn't actually have to do the work, so take it with a grain of salt. :) It also makes me wonder though.. We have all these bugs, questions, hackers, etc. lists in the U.S., but why not create local counterparts to all of them for non-english speakers? It seems unfair to ONLY have english lists, and no more local resources. We just need hosts willing to serve as secondaries and we can do the MX magic here to get addresses like ``anmerkung@de.freebsd.org'' to DTRT. C'mon, folks, let's get more regional resources online and put them under the "umbrella" of freebsd.org! One mail exchanger and majordomo server per country is all it takes! Jordan
