For xnap-commons and gettext-commons there is no IRC channel.

I committed the change to CVS, the next our website will be built the tutor=
ial
should contain that fix.

I would like to point out that the tuturial is not meant as running example
but should rather highlight the steps that need to be taken, the following
line has been simplified for sake of clarity:

# extract keys
xgettext -ktrc -ktr -kmarktr -ktrn:1,2 -o po/keys.pot src/*.java

'src/*.java' usually doesn't make sense and should be replaced by
'`find src/ -name "*.java"`'

Maybe we can change the tutorial to no use any directories except for the
current working directory.

Thanks,
