Hello website and internationalization friends,

as you may know, there is a regular job in the Debian web server 
checking validation in the built html pages. Results can be seen here: 
https://www-master.debian.org/build-logs/

The logs are also sent via mail to certain recipients per language, who 
are listed here:

https://salsa.debian.org/webmaster-team/webwml/-/blob/master/english/devel/website/validation.data

If you are one of the recipients of those mails, please note that I have 
just committed changes that will change the subjects from now on:

Old subjects: "Validation failed" or "Tidy validation failed"

New subjects: "Validation failed for the language code XX" or "Tidy 
validation failed for the language code XX"

(For the case you have a rule to process such mails based on subject).

On the other hand, your language team may want to review the recipients 
listed for your language in 
https://salsa.debian.org/webmaster-team/webwml/-/blob/master/english/devel/website/validation.data 
to update accordingly. If you have no commit permissions in the website 
please send a mail to [email protected] CC'ing your language 
team and we'll handle it.

The validation scripts have much room for improvement and any help is 
welcome. Some of the issues are already filed as bugs and you can find 
them here:
