Christian and others, Thanks you for your work on finding the proper wording for the debconf templates for spotweb.
I have just a few remarks. 1. In spotweb.templates: Template: spotweb/postserver Type: string Default: _Description: NNTP "post" server: Please enter the news server that should be used for posting articles with Spotweb. The word 'articles' is too generic I think. Better wording would be Please enter the news server that should be used for uploading spots with Spotweb. Since in this context, a 'spot' is a news article that contains information about a binary in one of the news groups. The setting is to indicate which news server should be used when the user uploads a spot to help other users find the indicated binary. 2. The capitalisation of the name of the application is not quite consistent upstream. For Debian I think we should choose "SpotWeb" (in camel case), since that seems to be used most by upstream. The debconf templates contain one or more instances of "Spotweb".
