Hi Thomas,

thanks for putting some love into the DDTSS, it is appreciated.

Aside Daniele's wishlist items (that I agree with), two of the things I 
use most in our pages, thanks to Daniele's scripts are:
  - a link to the packages.debian.org page for the package under 
translation, which I use to move along to the package's upstream home 
page whenever I need to clarify something I have to translate;
  - a link to the source package in the ddtp (something like 
https://ddtp.debian.org/ddt.cgi?source=slidge-matridge) which allows me 
to see what other packages come from the same source and might share 
some part of the description.

I have another minor wishlist. Only the last 10 messages are shown, and 
it is not possible (or I am not able) to read the previous ones unless 
you delete some of newest ones. Would it be possible, without it being a 
big hassle, to have a link for a page with the older messages?

yes, DDTSS authentication would benefit from some improvement, and maybe 
a password recovery function.

Again, thanks a lot for your work.
