Hi all I passed the "warning" about mails being published (now appearing in contact.wml) to the l10n-english list and they approved the wording.
Attached you can find my proposal of splitting that note in a separate file, and the resulting contact.wml file. I've tried to get the contact.en.html file but although 'make' gives no errors, it does not display the note, so something must be wrong in the files that I send, but I cannot figure out what. Sorry, I'm totally newbie at wml. I hope somebody can help to make this work, and then, I would propose the patch including the note in all the wml files containing links to mailing lists. Thanks Laura Arjona https:/wiki.debian.org/LauraArjona
