Hi,
when translating Changes/2006 into German, I noticed that there are some
texts that are redundantly translated. For example, I'd like to have a macro
<developermail
from="&a.tron;"
list="netbsd-announce"
mailid="2006/04/26/0000"/>
Which would expand to "See also &a.tron;'s mail to the netbsd-announce
mailing list." Another thing that occurs often is the addition of a new
developer or two, though I don't know yet if it's worth designing macros
for it.
Ideally, of course, we had some computer language to describe what
happended and generate and translate the texts automatically. :)
