The WWW site doesn't need much -- but if it had a few things, it'd be
worth it's weight in frustration, i.e.:
1. Steve's initial post (i.e. mission/philosophy).
2. Links to mailing list subscriptions
3. Quick and dirty "here's how to grab and build"
4. possibly: "here's what we'd like you to do to submit changes via
GNU Arch" (since it's a bit different, should we say, than cvs/svn).
Anything else is just eyecandy, unless someone finds it useful (I've
never met a bugtracker that I've liked, except for the "Zwiki
application as bug tracker" -- i.e. it supports both email and WWW
usage naturally, when it works -- which is the problem with it,
sigh...).
Are you running an Arch PQM (patch queue manager) or planning to?
