That would be better indeed.

Not quite sure if that'd be useful; but if you think it is: be my guest.

YES!  What stalled it at the time we tried to do it: currently, there's a
$Date$ and $Version$ tag in the code; some mechanism is used to enable one to
easily check if all translations are up to date.  It's the same mechanism as
(once?) used by the Debian website pages.

We couldn't find out / didn't have the time how to enable that with git, then.
I'd _*love*_ to have the flyers in git.

Care to help with that?

Thanks for your interest, Bye,

Joost - who basically doesn't have any time for the flyers this year...
