[Trisquel-devel] abrowser addons was Re: Packaged Youtube ALL HTML5

[Andrew Lindley]

Wrt deleting entries, the Trisquel Team page on the wiki, which seems 
out of date (the graphics site mentioned no longer exists), says 
SirGrant maintains the links.  I know from experience he has 
additional permissions for the Issue system, so  PM him via the web site 
with a list of what to delete and why.  Perhaps he can still delete 
them.
