Good work ! It's so pleasant to see po4a going forward quickly even if I've
almost no time to devote to it... Thanks you so much.

Ok. I'll review your documentation reviews. Some of them look discutable to
me. I hope you don't mind.

We need to split up the list, and send the CVS commit to the other list of
the project, so that we can hope to get more people on this list and around
po4a. The list is created, I dunno how to achieve the switch properly.
Denis, could you look into it ? Actually, I don't think so since Denis is in
vacation. Could someone give it a try? Pierre?

Yuhu! Well done, dude.

For the record, the two last bugs in Debian I've fixed today were typo
revealed during the translation of the program to italian ;)

I tried to get Danilo subscribing here and getting a CVS write right, but
because of the time difference between here and europe, I've no answer yet.

Bye, Mt.
