OK, I feared that you will criticize that patch, so I first proposed it on the mailing list. I am currently work on putting all stuff for generating the book and fricas.github.io into fricas so that everyone can generate the website and also a local (offline) version of it. Of course, I can hardcode the data that is already in configure.ac, but I don't like to double data. You probably see that it makes sense to have also PACKAGE_NAME, PACKAGE_BUGREPORT, and PACKAGE_URL available to show them in the documentation. Of course, that patch must look incomplete now, but I thought it's small enough to go in before the big documentation patch. That brings me to another question, before I spend even more time on it and then get rejected... Formerly, I used another (GPL) repository https://github.com/hemmecke/fricas-doc to generate fricas.github.io, but that looked unnecessarirly artificial to me, since I need the fricas sources in order to generate book and website. The only information that fricas-doc actually added was a few .rst files. So now I develop a branch on top of fricas master with all the information and build-machinery in it. Since I rebase and change commits quite a lot, I have not proposed it yet officially, but if anyone wants to look and criticize it, it is at: https://github.com/hemmecke/fricas/commits/formatted The last commits are rather messy... they will be cleaned up. Anyway, the question is whether *you* like the idea of having code and documentation/website in the same repository. Of course, I would like to have it that way, because splitting docs and code doesn't make sense for for me for our rather small repository and I wanted to avoid git submodules or other stuff to sync the documentation and code versions.
