Thanks, Geir - there was a half written msg with exactly this topic  
in my outbox... I fully agree with you that at least anything which  
is subject to a vote should directly include all the relevant  
information - no links for substantial content, just for extras like  
fancy PDFs describing the architecture or tarballs of the initial  
codebase etc.

This may sound a bit picky but everything else unfortunately comes  
with too many disadvantages (no real archives, dead links, no offline  
access, etc.).

Cheers,
Erik

Grr, I just did exactly the same thing and wrote just about the
same thing. My thread view must be messed up...

In any case, +1 to what he said.
