I like your plan, but this would also involve the translation teams maintaining their very own copies of this page, and I don't know that most of them have the time or resource to do that. For your information, in December sometime I mailed Annelise Andersen, Tom Mittelstadt and another publisher that I forget to ensure we had permission to use the cover images from their books, and to get images that they wanted used. Annelise was the only person who even replied; she sent me images in the approximate dimensions of the thumbnail and linked images (some of the linked images are different sizes) and even provided me with some copy describing her book that we could use. Unfortunately due the total lack of response from other parties I moved on to other things, but these are probably going to be of use to you if you're planning to make these changes, so I'll senf them to you if you like. Also, regarding the newsletter, it currently links to register.cgi which harvests your postal address in return for a promised copy of the newsletter, which jkh assured me is dead, dead, dead. In light of this, I asked Nik and jkh for an opinion on whether it should stay there harvesting addresses, and Nik's reply was "nix it", or something along those lines. So with Nik's approval I'm going to knock up a patch so that register.cgi will offer to (un)subscribe people to the -announce and -security-announce lists (it just formats and sends a mail to majordomo, which still needs to be authenticated) and nothing else, so if you could also remove the links from the newsletters that point at it, that would be neat. Ceri -- keep a mild groove on To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
