What could be more damageable? . stay with the "en", "ja", ... directories and have to change later :-( , . wait too long on this problem - even if it is an important one - and don't go ahead on other aspects: FAQ's conversion in DocBook for example. I think Nik's position (have a clean architecture for CVS repository and a more user friendly one for the installed version) is the best solution, today. -- Robert Brive <brive@mail.dotcom.fr> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
