Dear Friends,

I just viewed the translation_team.html page. OpenOffice modified some
important content. For example, the TITLE is not "Translation Steps" :

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="CONTENT-TYPE" CONTENT="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<TITLE>Translation steps</TITLE>
<META NAME="GENERATOR" CONTENT="OpenOffice.org 1.1 (Win32)">
<META NAME="CREATED" CONTENT="20030716;12590216">
<META NAME="CHANGEDBY" CONTENT="Andreas Pflug">
<META NAME="CHANGED" CONTENT="20030716;12590991">
<STYLE>

Also, OpenOffice does not support style sheets. This will be a problem when we
publish HTML pages on the web. I don't like to see code modified
automatically. OpenOffice can be used for productivity, not for web page
design.

There are so many nice editors under GNU/Linux and Windows:
- Quanta Plus (GNU/Linux)
- Bluefish (GNU/Linux)
- Kate (part of KDE3)
- Dreamweaver (Win32, wron't destroy your HTML code)
- PhpEdit (http://www.phpedit.com, Free)
- UltraEdit (http://www.ultraedit.com, Freeware)
- TextPad (http://www.textpad.com, Freeware)

I plan to migrate some HTML pages to PHP Gettext to submit a new version of
pgAdmin website to the team.

The pages involved are:
- translation_*.html
- snapshots.html

Would it be possible not to use OpenOffice with these pages, as I will migrate
them to PHP. Can we confirm this?

Cheers,
Jean-Michel
