Dear webmasters,

At a recent TC meeting[1] it was noted that the list of decisions on the
TC page on the Debian website is quite out-of-date -- for example,
appointing new members is done using our official decision-making
process, but none of the decision processes leading to the appointments
of any of the sitting members of the committee are listed :)

Our view is that while the BTS records of discussions and decisions are
the source of truth, it is valuable to have the website page too, as
it's quite interesting for anyone interested in Debian history.  We also
thought that it is not a problem if it doesn't get kept up-to-date until
someone gets around to it.

However, we thought it would be best if some text on the page linked to
the BTS archives, and notes that the www page is often out-of-date.
There is some language to this effect already but it is only attached to
one section of the page and does not clearly state that the BTS is the
official record.  So I would like to propose the attached patch.

Thanks!

Hi,
« Note that no decisions from before the 1st of April 2002 are recorded
here. »
or
« Note that decisions from before the 1st of April 2002 have not been
recorded here. »

Same here.

Hello,

There should not be two 'yet's, indeed.  Thanks.

This one doesn't have the same problem and I think is fine.

as well on a first read.  The "no" should go with the verb, not the
subject, and it's a mile away.  Plus, I think there's tense weirdness
going on with the 'yet' as well: 'yet' indicates past actions, and 'are'
indicates the present tense.  

It should probably be:

+<p>NB that all decisions from before the 31st of January 2002 have yet to
be recorded here </p>

Alternatively, since I think you're trying specifically to remove the "not
yet" in the original, try just getting rid of the 'yet': it doesn't add
much.

+<p>NB that no decisions from before the 31st of January 2002 have been
recorded here </p>

Or, (and this is the option I personally will be taking), simply ignore
this tiny bit of subjectively awkward english, stop being overly pedantic
about a tiny phrase that doesn't matter, thank the person adding a much
needed note to an out of date page, and take a nap while contemplating the
silliness of language.

Looking forward to his nap,
Calum M
