Stefan, thank you for your advocacy work!
Also this is the first time I saw a screenshot of pkg_select. That
screenshot looked bad, but when I zoomed in it was clear.
The English document has German descriptions for images.
Also "skript" should be "script" on the English document.
As for the OpenPGP signatures info -- is that really for integrity of
"source files"? I thought it was for signed packages.
Also the term "cronable" may be misunderstood or unknown to novices --
maybe say "This task can be automated with cron and can improve ..."
The "pkg_view" feature doesn't setup a chroot environment (but symlinks).
(When I last tested, building pkgviews packages didn't work for me -- but
someone more recent wrote that he was using it. I asked him how, but never
heard back.)
Also change "everydays business" to "everyday business".
