Thanks Karsten - it now works after that second fix. I've added a new news item about the SourceForge move. Now that I look at it again, I'm not sure that I worded it as well as I might have done but never mind. Peter: is your e-mail address on the about page out-of-date; zsh@sunsite.auc.dk is also forwarding to ifh - atleast according to the list Karsten sent me when he first added me)? I think we should add a page describing how to get at the CVS stuff. I was going to base it on the thing Adam wrote around the end of last year(?) updated for SourceForge but if anyone thinks they can do a good job of it (until recently I knew nothing about cvs) then please do. I'm not sure where the CVS would fit under the main headings. The Contributions page could probably have a few additions. I'll trawl through the mailing list archives when I get time for any suitable scripts. Does anyone object to me adding scripts that they posted under their name on the page? When I commited the couple of changes to CVS, I was prompted for some text. I gave it a one-line description of the change I made is this what I was supposed to do? 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? We could probably do with a few examples of ZLE widgets. Those in the main archive are all fairly complicated and aren't the best place to start someone off. I have a few simple widgets - for example: copy-last-word() { setopt localoptions noksharrays local words words=( "${=LBUFFER}" ) if [[ $LASTWIDGET = copy-last-word ]] && (( clwcount > -$#words )); then (( clwcount-- )) else (( clwcount=-2 )) fi LBUFFER="${LBUFFER%$words[-1]}$words[clwcount]" } This is like copy-prev-word but doesn't take the current unfinished word and cycles through the previous words. Where should this sort of thing be - in the distribution, on the web page or in /dev/null? Does anyone else have any widgets they would like to share? 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? I think we ought to have some way of sharing such things but there should probably be a limit as to what goes into the main zsh distribution. Can we have separate CVS distributions on SourceForge. Maybe we should have a separately maintained package for miscellanous completions. Despite saying that I'm not very convinced myself that it would be a good idea. I always hate it when I come to download a program and find that I need 15 separate libraries and macro packages. Don't be suprised if I seem to be a bit inactive on the web pages over the coming few weeks but I over the longer term, I hope that won't be the case - I'm away for the coming weekends and have a holiday in the US coming up. My one account on a Linux box on the internet may disappear soon (and with it the host I ran cvs from) though I will have access from home soon. Am I likely to cause problems (messing up file permissions etc) by running cvs from a win32 machine as a temporary measure? If anyone has any suggestions related to the web pages then please speak up. Oliver Kiddle
