The best way to deal with these things is to help :-)

I agree the link on the web page isn't easily found (hell, it took
me a while to find it the first time though).

So why don't you send a patch to the web pages to improve the situation?

They can be checked out via "cvs co wwwdocs", you can send patches to
them just like any other code in the project.

I'm not an HTML or web page design guru.  In fact, I'm terrible at web
stuff, so suggestions/patches for the web page are greatly appreciated.

Yes, this is a problem.  Again, contributions for a search engine
on the mail archives would be greatly appreciated.  This may just be
a matter of tweaking the glimpse code.  I don't really know.

Note we have to be careful with indexing the mail archives -- the
whole recent archiver shutdown was due to indexing of the win32
archives sucking up every last byte of disk space on the web server :(

INSTALL as it stands will probably disappear from the CVS repository,
it is redundant with the official web pages in wwwdocs.

We'll still include it with releases and maybe in snapshots, but
it needs to be revamped to work with the official web pages which
are kept elsewhere in the repository.

I just haven't figured out the best way to do this.

Awaiting patch :-)

:-)

Good point.

Desparately needed.
