Magnus,
TRANSLATORS: PLEASE see Magnus' comments below about bad encodings and
missing parts of presskits.
Magnus: the translators can (hopefully) fix the encoding issues.
However, I don't know that they can fix the XHTML issues. Can the web
team do this somehow?

I don't recall putting such a thing in. How about a line number?

Nope, it's because the header was added after the fact last year so I
didn't have it in my template. :-( We can add it easily enough for
English, but the others?

Actually, it is Greek. I got mixed up.

Eh? CVS error. Will attempt to re-post. Since CVS is giving me fits
over the FR directory (it doesn't like it for some reason) I may have to
drop French into the main directory.

OK, we'll leave Japanese alone. Usually JPUG posts the release on
their own site instead of ours anyway.

Ah. Drop this one then. I've not heard from the Romanian folks in a week.

I don't have the time or the knowledge to fix XHTML problems; that's my
markup that you're having problems with and it represents the limit of
my HTML know-how (I *did* post to this list asking for feedback before
the translations started, but, whatever) Can someone on the web team
take this over?

Right. I'm waiting to see which presskits are "OK" before revising that
list.

Well, at least I got *something* right.
