Important: take a break from translating
James A. Treacy
or I didn't state things explicitly enough.
YOU SHOULD HOLD OFF ON TRANSLATING FROM THE ENGLISH PAGES FOR ANOTHER
DAY OR TWO.
There are many changes being made to the english directory. The content
hasn't changed very much, but the Makefiles have been completely redone
and more has been moved into the template files. If you update while
we are still making changes you will simply be creating work for yourself.
The changes should make it much less likely that translators will make
changes that will introduce bugs that cause the Makefiles to fail.
Also, by moving more of the wml specifics out of the .wml files,
translators will have fewer decisions to make. In particular, the
#!wml ....
line at the start of files is no longer needed as the Makefiles explicitly
state the output file when they call wml. If you remove the line before
updating the Makefiles, all wml output will go to stdout (the spanish
pages have this problem currently with some files).
If you were having any problems before, make them known now so they
can be fixed now. Update your version of the english pages and you can
see what has been done.

Sorry, this might be motivated by my changes in the spanish
translations, I skipped the last messages (happens when you have a 1.4Mb
mailbox) I will hold it until the changes are made.
Again I'm sorry if this added work to any other develober (besides
me of course :)
Regards
