We're only talking about the entry "project page" on Savannah (and it's not even the whole page). It's has to stay very short since the main purpose of this page is to give you access to the other things on the page. So there's not much room for lots of contributions and frequent changes, really. We can put a few well chosen links to web-pages which can then change much more freely. > Can we get a situation where committers can change that documentation > just as they would edit any other documentation? You'd have to take that up with the Savannah hackers, but it seems highly unlikely. Stefan
