> But to install the builder and configure all

Working on Builder itself is definitely necessary to go forward, but
perhaps an easier way to contribute is to focus on the gen-scripts. You
can hard code the variables (or even use wildcards, i.e. instead of
$VERSION) and run the script standalone. The gen scripts for packages
always follow the same pattern:

1) get source package
2) unpack
3) modify code
4) update changelog
5) build

Step 3 is the one that involves brain power.

If you want further information about Builder itself, I'll be happy to
oblige if you tell me where exactly you're stuck.

In the interest of transparency I can say that Eddi and I are going to
sit together some time next week to get work on Builder moving again.
We'll share the outcome on this list.

The website's been fairly responsive to me in the last few days. I've
updated the relevant bug report [1]. If anyone want to start on writing
some scripts, please let me know (here or in the bug report).

Maybe the past translators can be motivated to pick up where they left
off. Would you like to find and contact them about it? The Editor group
[2] might be a good place to start.

I have done the request for inclusion :)  ------------)) GREMO (Mike)
