There's no need to write this; just link to http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=4068 like I've done from my page (the accuracy of which, incidentally, I'm maintaining reasonably regularly). > The Contributions page could probably have a few additions.

No objection from me; you could include my .zshrc if you want, which is always at: http://www.new.ox.ac.uk/~adam/computing/zsh/files/.zshrc You could also include a link to my zsh page http://www.new.ox.ac.uk/~adam/computing/zsh/ under `Useful links', although I'm beginning to sound like an egocentric maniac, so never let it be said I forced you into it ;-) > When I commited the couple of changes to CVS, I was prompted for some > text.

It doesn't have to be one line, but brief is good. > Does anyone know if we can use the sourceforge web area as a mirror of > the main pages with them automatically updated using cron or whatever? Yes, we could. Mirroring via rsync would be best, if it's possible. > I also have a number of AIX and IRIX specific completions as well as > some which are specific to particular commercial applications (e.g. > Rational Apex). Where should this sort of thing go? Personally I really like the `out-of-the-box-ness' of the new completion system, and would like to see that continue as much as possible. We already have a few platform-specific completions, and adding more are hardly doing any harm. > I always hate it when I come to download a program and find that I > need 15 separate libraries and macro packages. Exactly. > If anyone has any suggestions related to the web pages then please speak > up. I'm not too keen on the `Distribution' section. When I was first looking for the downloads bit, my eye completely missed this. Could we change it to `Downloads', with sub-headings as `Mirrors' and `Mirror contents' respectively? Adam
