Hallo,
wenn ich's nicht falsch verstanden habe, ist deutsch hier auch OK. Dann
wechsle ich mal. ;)

OK.

Das habe ich mir fast schon so gedacht.
Sinnvoll wäre ja wahrscheinlich, dass es also auch je manpage aus
section 1 einen Maintainer für die Übersetzung geben würde? So hätte ich
das jetzt erstmal ganz blauäugig erwartet. Das scheint momentan aber
nicht so der Fall zu sein(?).

Das kann ich mir gut vorstellen. ;)

Genau das meine ich. IMHO ist es sinniger Teile, die noch nicht
übersetzt sind im Original (also englisch) aufzunehmen, als sie
rauszulassen. Ein nicht übersetzter Teil ist IMHO allemal hilfreicher,
als ein fehlender.

OK, um man1/find.1 werde ich mich kümmern, versprochen!
Es kann aber gut sein, dass jetzt erstmal acht Wochen Funkstille ist.
Bitte nicht wundern, danach steht es sofort auf meinem TODO.
Danke für die Infos und Gruß,
