+ <description><p>I'm still working on the Norwegian version of the
+<a href="http://free-culture.cc/">Free Culture book by Lawrence
+Lessig</a>, and is now working on the final typesetting and layout.
+One of the features I want to get the structure similar to the
+original book is to typeset the footnotes as endnotes in the notes
+chapter. Based on the
+<a href="https://bugs.debian.org/685063">feedback from the Debian
+maintainer and the dblatex developer</a>, I came up with this recipe I
+would like to share with you. The proposal was to create a new LaTeX
+class file and add the LaTeX code there, but this is not always
+practical, when I want to be able to replace the class using a make
+file variable. So my proposal misuses the latex.begindocument XSL
+parameter value, to get a small fragment into the correct location in
+the generated LaTeX File.</p>
+
+<p>First, decide where in the DocBook document to place the endnotes,
+and add this text there:</p>
+
+<pre>
+&lt;?latex \theendnotes ?&gt;
+</pre>
+
+<p>Next, create a xsl stylesheet file dblatex-endnotes.xsl to add the
+code needed to add the endnote instructions in the preamble of the
+generated LaTeX document, with content like this:</p>
+
+<pre>
+&lt;?xml version='1.0'?&gt;
+&lt;xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version='1.0'&gt;
+ &lt;xsl:param name="latex.begindocument"&gt;
+ &lt;xsl:text&gt;
+\usepackage{endnotes}
+\let\footnote=\endnote
+\def\enoteheading{\mbox{}\par\vskip-\baselineskip }
+\begin{document}
+ &lt;/xsl:text&gt;
+ &lt;/xsl:param&gt;
+&lt;/xsl:stylesheet&gt;
+</pre>
+
+<p>Finally, load this xsl file when running dblatex, for example like
+this:</p>
+
+<pre>
+dblatex --xsl-user=dblatex-endnotes.xsl freeculture.nb.xml
+</pre>
+
+<p>The end result can be seen on github, where
+<a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">my
+book project</a> is located.</p>

+ <description><p>I går fikk vi endelig lansert en norsk version av mySocietys
+<a href="https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/">WhatDoTheyKnow</a>.
+Tjenesten heter Mimes brønn, og ble
+<a href="http://www.nuug.no/news/NUUG_lanserer_innsynstjenesten_Mimes_Br_nn.shtml">annonsert
+av NUUG</a> via blogg, epost og twitter til NUUG-assosierte personer.
+Det har tatt noen år, men de siste dagene fikk vi endelig tid til å få
+på plass de siste bitene. Vi er to, Gorm og meg selv, som har vært
+primus motor for det hele, men vi har fått hjelp med oversettelser og
+oppsett fra mange flere. Jeg vil si tusen takk til hver og en av dem,
+og er veldig fornøyd med at vi klarte å få tjenesten opp å kjøre før
+ferietiden slo inn for fullt.</p>
+
+<p>Vi er usikker på hvor mye belastning den virtuelle maskinen der
+tjenesten kjører klarer, så vi har lansert litt i det stille og ikke
+til for mange folk for å se hvordan maskinen klarer seg over sommeren,
+før vi går mer aktivt ut og annonserer til høsten. Ta en titt, og se
+om du kanskje har et spørsmål til det offentlige som er egnet å sende
+inn via Mimes brønn.</p>
+
+<p>Hvis du lurer på hva i alle dager en slik tjenestes kan brukes til,
+anbefaler jeg deg å se
+<a href="http://beta.frikanalen.no/video/625321">TED-foredraget til
+Heather Brook</a> om hvordan hun brukte WhatDoTheyKnow til å lære
+hvordan offentlige midler ble misbrukt. Det er en inspirerende
+historie.</p>

seem sensible to me? Are there better services around to search the
set of available laptops for features? Please send me an email if you
have suggestions.</p>
