I propose that when it is at the HTML we remove it and add a Savannah
task. When it is at the PHP, of course we must leave it at the code, and
to remember it, we can create a Savannah task which talk about the XXX
tags in the PHP code.

I will take a look.

Good point!. If it is needed, we can stop updating the production
environment. We can work on our development environments.

Anyway, I think we should try to translate the new strings which are
already at production as "Change language"?.

I will do it.

So, you are talking about grouping the current index with some
sections?.  I think that at least we should take a look to that proposal!.
So, please send another version of the hacker's guide applying such idea,
before I begin to convert it to <div>.

I think that the FAQ page will not need such grouping due to it is not so
large. Isn't it?.

Well, we can say something like: "install UFT-8 as default in your
system", and they will ask or read any documentation proper for their
operating system.
