Correct. But then, I saw a number of other GNU projects' pages also no
longer strictly applying the main gnu.org style. And thanks to the
wonders of CSS, we could align rather easily.

Our translated pages are -- apart from static documents -- totally
lacking behind. I decided for myself that retaining the translated pages
is not worth it, save perhaps the really static ones, like ``Towards a
New Strategy of OS Design'' and equal calibres. Also, there are already
plans and beginnings of the implementation for a translation framework
within the ikiwiki software, where the existing bits could be
incorporated as soon as that's deployed.

That is a valid point, yes. That's one part of what I meant when I said
that ``the wiki's current appearance doesn't match up with the ``solid''
appearance of the Hurd homepage'' (the other part being layout,
cleanliness, etc.).
For example, we currently have instructions about (a) running the Hurd on
the non-free vmware,
<http://www.thomas.schwinge.homeip.net/hurd-wiki/hurd/running.html>.
Neal added (b) a bunch of links to scientific papers. That's both not on
par with the ``Guidelines for GNU Web Site Volunteers'',
<http://www.gnu.org/server/standards/>, at least as I read them. What to
do? I'd certainly very much like to keep at least (b).
Regards,
Thomas
