It may be but I was way past the point of caring about that. I have a very finite of free time on my hands and if I spend that time to improve the German translation of the FAQ (or doing other things for the FGDP), I can rely on the fact that other people will profit from my work. On the other hand, my experiences with the international FDP are a rather different story. It took some time but I've learned my lesson and that's why I'm concentrating my efforts on the German version. > Take a look at the attached book.sgml for the idea. I know the basic idea and I still think that it's the wrong way. We've had this discussion in the past and frankly I see no point in restarting it. > I agree.

See above. /s/Udo PS: Alex was kind enough to set up an anoncvs server: cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@big.endian.de:/home/de-bsd-cvs login No password (just press Enter) cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@big.endian.de:/home/de-bsd-cvs co de-www (German translation of the web pages) cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@big.endian.de:/home/de-bsd-cvs co de-docproj (German handbook, FAQ, etc) The log messages are in German but it's rather easy to find the commits where I cleaned up with the big broom. -- "In headlines today, the dreaded killfile virus spread across the country adding aol.com to people's usenet kill files everywhere.
