+               <description>&lt;p&gt;I&#39;m still working on the Norwegian version of the
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://free-culture.cc/&quot;&gt;Free Culture book by Lawrence
+Lessig&lt;/a&gt;, 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
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.debian.org/685063&quot;&gt;feedback from the Debian
+maintainer and the dblatex developer&lt;/a&gt;, 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.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;First, decide where in the DocBook document to place the endnotes,
+and add this text there:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;pre&gt;
+&amp;lt;?latex \theendnotes ?&amp;gt;
+&lt;/pre&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;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:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;pre&gt;
+&amp;lt;?xml version=&#39;1.0&#39;?&amp;gt;
+&amp;lt;xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform&quot; version=&#39;1.0&#39;&amp;gt;
+  &amp;lt;xsl:param name=&quot;latex.begindocument&quot;&amp;gt;
+    &amp;lt;xsl:text&amp;gt;
+\usepackage{endnotes}
+\let\footnote=\endnote
+\def\enoteheading{\mbox{}\par\vskip-\baselineskip }
+\begin{document}
+    &amp;lt;/xsl:text&amp;gt;
+  &amp;lt;/xsl:param&amp;gt;
+&amp;lt;/xsl:stylesheet&amp;gt;
+&lt;/pre&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Finally, load this xsl file when running dblatex, for example like
+this:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;pre&gt;
+dblatex --xsl-user=dblatex-endnotes.xsl freeculture.nb.xml
+&lt;/pre&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The end result can be seen on github, where
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;my
+book project&lt;/a&gt; is located.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;I går fikk vi endelig lansert en norsk version av mySocietys
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/&quot;&gt;WhatDoTheyKnow&lt;/a&gt;.
+Tjenesten heter Mimes brønn, og ble
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nuug.no/news/NUUG_lanserer_innsynstjenesten_Mimes_Br_nn.shtml&quot;&gt;annonsert
+av NUUG&lt;/a&gt; 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.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Hvis du lurer på hva i alle dager en slik tjenestes kan brukes til,
+anbefaler jeg deg å se
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://beta.frikanalen.no/video/625321&quot;&gt;TED-foredraget til
+Heather Brook&lt;/a&gt; om hvordan hun brukte WhatDoTheyKnow til å lære
+hvordan offentlige midler ble misbrukt.  Det er en inspirerende
+historie.&lt;/p&gt;
