attention translators

Hi, Translators should update their translations in the template/debian/links.tags.wml, I've added two new tags for the main page in there recently. Also, update/create distrib/index.wml. :) -- 2. That which causes joy or happiness.

the top logo .jpg -> .png?

Hi, In my front page sketches I also did one more thing -- replaced the openlogo-nd-50.jpg with its PNG version. The PNG is better because it doesn't have the ugly JPEG fuzziness around the image, yet it's five times smaller (3.9 KB vs. 759 B). We've been using the PNG on the CD web pages for a w

Hi, http://joy.gkvk.hr/newfront3/ The quick links is a column in that one. I removed the help section and replaced it with a big+bold link in the quick links. The news section is getting on my nerves. :) It's really pathetic, too, those things are hardly news... -- 2. That which causes jo

Hi, Mostly for the yellow+black haters. :) http://joy.gkvk.hr/newfront2.5/ I also reviewed my notes about the quick links position and decided there wasn't enough coherence in the comments about it :) I've moved install and upgrade boxes above it, it seems a bit better. (Oops, it seems I didn't

news groups -> support

Hi, I was just browsing the Internet Archive (http://www.archive.org/) for www.debian.org in 1997 and noticed that in that time, the links to Usenet news groups were in the support page, and not on the related links page like today. I suspect it was just overzealous moving of external links to re

list archives now refresh every 20 minutes

Hi, I've noticed no problems in the lists.d.o logs, each of the cronjob runs took about two minutes, so I'm now changing the crontab to run the job every twenty minutes. I've also adjusted the savelog line to keep 72 copies of the logs, just in case :) -- 2. That which causes joy or happin
