Thank you, Stefan. But having to send an update through one particular person is sub-optimal in a multi-contributor free software project. Imagine if it were like that with the code. Can we get a situation where committers can change that documentation just as they would edit any other documentation? (We might have *social* controls on editing the front page -- that's fine. I'm just saying that a commit mechanism that involves a gateway human is not a good long-term strategy.) Best, -K
