Well, it makes all the difference, actually. There's no need to pull from anything if the eventual aim is to switch over to the fvwm-web repository on Github. One of the reasons for doing this way is it's not only easy to set up, but it means _we_ as fvwm-workers@ don't need to have the overhead of hosting it ourselves. We can leave the fvwm-web version on fvwm.org as is, and just redirect to fvwmorg.github.io as needed, when the work on the website is complete. Note that I can't remember if I've mentioned it already, but the current "building" phase of the website relies on files from the fvwm repository. This will have to change, notably: * We no longer need a NEWS file or Changelog---yes, we can have NEWS items, but we'll have to handle that differently to how we do now. * The FAQ is same; that file should be moved out of the fvwm repository and into the website repository, ideally converted to use Markdown---I've already done this to some of the files in the fvwm repository, should you need an example. > Well, CONGRATULATIONS. > That's just great.
