I know English quite much better than Russian. I'm actually just a
beginner when it comes to Russian. Since you won't reply in Norwegian, I
guess English is better than Russian. (But of course I may learn some
more Russian if you reply in Russian, and I would love to learn more.)

Spam filter maybe? I know that that problem.

Put it right in the main trunk with 'cvs commit'.

You mean clean the directory structure of the source? I have thought of
it, but haven't had the guts do it. I guess there is a source tree
layout standard for gnu projects. src, doc, po, gtk, lib, win32 could be
natural directories in the source tree.

No! Nobody in the project have the shell access to the repository, and
if someone had, that wouldn't have been the way of doing it. The
repository is only changed by the cvs command. That's the law, and
that's sacred. If we decide to change the structure, we will do it
through the cvs commands.

The bug-gnubg ML is best! The post will for sure be read by the person
with right knowledge. BTW: I'm copying this message to the ML. Mostly
because I want some response to the above paragraph.

I hope you subscribe to the mailing list yourself. It's really worth it!

Yes, I think we talked about that. Unfortunately I was not able to find
any such stickers. I made my own, but they didn't stick to the keyboard
properly. I therfore changes the russian keyboard layout, and then I
managed without. (Sorry I can't remember where I found the 'phonetic'
layout kyeboard driver.)

See the problem, I've had it my self. But listen to the worst problem
i've had:

If I in Linux switch to russian keyboard, and then log off. I'm not able
to log inn again since when I type my username it will be cyrillic
letters, and there is not any way to get the keyboard to norwegian
layout in the login screen. There you're stuck!

| До свидания,

hm? Why can't I change to Russian keyboard now? I'll write something
else instead....

Auf Widersehn,
