[PD] translate the Start Here! page

[Ed Kelly]

May I make a suggestion?

If PD Meta contained a list of objects, and a short description of each object's function, it could be dynamically parsed into an XML document, the PD object list we've been arguing about in FLOSSmanuals could be generated by a PHP script, and so always up-to-date. It could be part of the autobuild process for pd-extended to generate this file.
