HI,
for those who missed the announcement of Tolimar on debian-project
and did not checked out SVN I would like to inform you that I added
three paragraphs:
<li><a href="#accessibility">Debian Accessibility is using Blends web sentinel</a></li>
<li><a href="#gis">Debian GIS project will release Blends metapackages in Squeeze</a></li>
<li><a href="#debichem">DebiChem project will release Blends metapackages in Squeeze</a></li>
Please verify the content of the paragraph which is relevant for
your project.
Kind regards
Andreas.
