Could translators please look at the translation chapter of the FDP to check for relevance? While cleaning up whitespace, I noticed there are references to CVS and a not-yet-done section on using cvsup to check out the documentation and find changes between revisions. (Not only not yet done but three changes behind: cvsup->csup->svn. Although being not done is easier to fix.) There's a note on RCS strings, which may or may not need updating in light of SVN. The list of language-specific characters may need to be updated. There's a note on addressing the reader and translating the word "you", which probably should suggest that avoiding it generally results in better sentences, at least in English; "Now change xyz." is better than "You must now change xyz." If you have suggestions but are not a committer, respond here, send them to me (wblock@freebsd.org should not bounce), or enter a PR. Thank you!
