Description Róman Joost 2008-02-10 08:00:45 UTC 
As Ulf already mentioned, the AUTHORS should now be autogenerated by the Makefile.
Comment 1 Róman Joost 2008-03-02 12:36:25 UTC 
This has already been implemented by myself. I check if I can resolve this bug as FIXED.
Comment 2 Róman Joost 2008-03-02 14:08:21 UTC 
The translation from authors.xml -> AUTHORS works nicely, but the translation from authors.xml to DocBook isn't what I expected. The result is usable, but the XSL stylesheet mixes content with programming code. 

A better way to do this would be similar to the quickreference approach. Generate a English authors.xml as a source and use the *.po tools to create different translations from it. Though creating 'subfolders' for every small project feels kinda stupid to me.
Comment 3 Ulf-D. Ehlert 2008-04-17 18:23:55 UTC 
I've committed a xsl-based solution for preface/authors.xml. The
stylesheet has been splitted, translations are now in
"src/preface/titles.xml".

BTW, it seems that stylesheets/authors.xml is not up-to-date
(e.g., Jean Pierre is missing).
Comment 4 Róman Joost 2008-07-05 22:38:43 UTC 
I make this bug dependent on another bug which need to be fixed. Since we fix bug #369510 it will be a piece of cake to generate the authors HTML file.
Comment 5 Róman Joost 2008-10-01 19:32:02 UTC 
This bug is still scheduled for 2.4.1 which is already be released. It's dependent on bug #369510 anyways, which is already being fixed.

-> FUTURE
Comment 6 Ulf-D. Ehlert 2008-12-13 13:09:21 UTC 
Hmm, IMHO this bug does not depend on bug #369510. Generating the "AUTHORS"
file works fine in trunk, and if necessary we will just have to make some
corrections to make in work in the xml2po branch - this is what we have to
do with everything else too.
So I think we should resolve this bug as FIXED.
