Please find, for review, the debconf templates and packages descriptions for the golang source package.
This review will last from Friday, March 09, 2012 to Monday, March 11, 2012.
(I speed it up because this is indeed the same texts than golang-weekly)
Please send reviews as unified diffs (diff -u) against the original
files. Comments about your proposed changes will be appreciated.
Your review should be sent as an answer to this mail.
When appropriate, I will send intermediate requests for review, with
"[RFRn]" (n>=2) as a subject tag.
When we will reach a consensus, I send a "Last Chance For
Comments" mail with "[LCFC]" as a subject tag.
Finally, a summary will be sent to the review bug report,
and a mail will be sent to this list with "[BTS]" as a subject tag.
