Not a nl-specific problem?

Not a nl-specific problem?  We /do/ have nodes
called Changes and Manuals, but they're translated.

These english node names are referenced from  community.itexi and
news.itexi, which are not (yet) part of the dutch translation, which
should not be a problem; our automatic language selection takes
care of "translating" Manuals to "Handleidingen" when accessed
from the english community.itexi or news.itexi?

Okay...So it's been ready for 3 days and we didn't switch yet!

Oh, I forgot the lilypond.org build, just found out about that
and fixing what I can.

Both good, your call if this is RC for a switch or not...

so we'd be pissing off 1 in 300 people.

it would be nice to have a javascript on the front page saying
please upgrade to ie8 or firefox.

Okay.
