Hi all,

what happened to that idea (moving the version numbers to an appendix)?
 Did any objections (from a hidden source) stop the implementation of
this?  If not, I would say go ahead with it.  Because updating the
translation of the porters-handbook with "just" the version numbers is
really "annoying as hell" (as I found out this weekend) ...  ;-)

Related to that:  Most of my committs these days I are www-related.  I
have already kicked out a lot of old/dead entries in the commercial
gallery.   And updated several others. My next target will be the
books/articles/links/... listed on the website.

Examples:
- "roadmap to 5-stable" - should be deleted.  I do not think anyone is
reading that these days.
- "MH mail reader" - Should be deleted.  Is there even 1 user out there
who is still using this program?
- "CUPS" - should be part of handbook/printing (updated, if necessary).
 At the moment is nearly impossible to find it.  I only discovered it
yesterday ...
- and so on. and so on.

Best regards.


Johann
