hmm... the mailing list settings have been changed to normal behavior 
without announcement to the list.

- The user can make input directly, if visiting the pages (the 
interface was used several times already)
- For a mailing list a mailto-Link on the pages would be needed and 
that list would be spammed after a short time
- The Web interfaces allows to transfer new entries ready for editing 
(that one making the entry on the page does not have to care about 
format)

That is your opinion. I do not think www.d.o does look "ugly". To see, 
that the project belogs to Debian, it would be a good idea not to have 
a really different look and feel.

If people submit things to me, they will not go into arch, where I have 
no access to. They will have to ask for access or find someone with 
access. It wpuld have been better to use cvs which is a kind of 
standard for Debian (or the new subversion).

I remember making pages that looked similar to the website. And I do 
not remember getting a bug report or an announcment of the kind of 
changes. About the php: I so not know php and it would take some time 
to change the program to make it able to create php pages. Beside that 
the dicts have been on my homepage only for a long time. And there is 
no php.

How is the rest managed? where are the cron jobs for the make? where is 
the description of all those things? Or do you just mean the arch 
revisioning system?

As said in another mail: Everyone is free to take over the work and 
then do what they want. I have uploaded the newest makedictutf8.pl 
(sources for the dicts and configuration files are already available on 
alioth).

The dicts are not untouchable. But the script currently cannot be run 
on alioth.

I have no Idea yet how to solve that problem. If you have an Idea, 
please tell, but be concrete. I have no idea, how to solve the problem.

greetings

Jutta
