Comments on this one:

   the "29" in "29 Februar".

   Strip the $s from the original document and add it:

   <!-- Based on english version:                              -->
   <!--   NetBSD: index.html,v 1.41 2001/09/13 22:04:24 tv Exp -->    =20

   (Leaving the original RCS ID in is ok as long as things aren't checked
   into a local CVS repository, but it's a good idea to strip things as
   we keep our docs in CVS :-)

"Release" sounds fine to me. "Version" sounds ok as an option, i guess we
can use both.=20

"unterstuetzte Platform" klingt perfectly ok.

OK

hmmm... aus den Vorschlaegen von dict.leo.org wuerd' ich Befolgung oder

Abhaengig vom Kontext - aber klingt erstmal gut.

Can you do this, Jan?
Maybe make a "language dependent" and a "language independent" section.
The latter may be useful for other translations too.

Links and directory structure: PLEASE move to htdocs format!

This helps=20
 * later integration
 * detecting what's already translated
 * helps detecting links that are to english pages now and need to be
   moved to german versions once available

About Umlaute etc., I don't have a problem to use ISO 8859-1 (=E4, =F6,
=FC) instead, but that's my personal opinion.

Um, this calls for trouble.
Everyone working on this, just check out the NetBSD htdocs module ("env
CVS_RSH=3Dssh cvs -d anoncvs@anoncvs.netbsd.org:/cvsroot co htdocs"), and
send diffs. I'd prefer if you - Jan - could collect them and maintain a
master tree somehow. If you want to use CVS for your own purpose, that's
fine with me, but please use the directory structure and existing contents
from htdocs so we can easily identify duplicates etc.

(Right now I understand you have replaced english pages with german ones,
instaead of placing the later ones in htdocs/de, where they really
belong).

Your job! :-)

For now, I have taken the above two pages and merged them into the
existing htdocs/de, with some local changes from me.

I'd prefer if we could move communication to netbsd-docs@netbsd.org, which
is most visible to other interrested people. At worst, I guess you
could subscribe that list to yours. ;-)
