Built man and info pages. To do a proper source release, which includes these things, you need to have the whole thing configured, so that you can do a "make targz-src". > As Adam points out, >it is not ideal that the main page is only a list of pointers.

I never got involved in the webby side of things, I left that up to Geoff to handle (how's that for passing the buck). Personally I don't have a problem with the current arrangement of http://www.zsh.org/ being merely a meta-index page, but I can see why people would find it annoying. It may well be preferable to have www.zsh.org just do a redirect to the `real' pages, which should incorporate the meta-index material. > It may be easier to have the main web pages at sourceforge. It may well be. Web pages that the main developers can directly write to definitely sounds like an improvement on the current situation, regardless of who's nominally maintaining them. An even better situation (though more difficult to set up) would be to have the web pages mirrored in multiple locations; perhaps www.zsh.org could dynamically redirect to a (random|careful)ly chosen mirror. -zefram
