That's correct, you are an administrator/maintainer of that page.

There are a number of ways for finding a package.  For example, it is
possible to browse the tags map (link "Tags" in the upper bar):

  http://www.cl-user.net/asp/map

In the case of zpb-ttf, likely tags may be By Topic/Text
Processing/Typesetting or Parsers.  Another option is to use the
search functionality, as you have done.

The links are at the bottom of the page, probably not the most
prominent spot.  They are called Submit (and Validate this item, if
you ar a maintainer of the item and you have edited it).

Even if you no longer use the site, your comments are still useful.
Marc has been tweaking the user interface for the past couple of
months, and there is certainly a lot more work to do.  Despite these
problems, I have pushed to add more entries because it is a task that
can be done concurrently with the changes to the user interface.  This
is something similar to creating a new application: in its early
stages it may have rough spots, but it can still be useful.

Thanks for the feedback,


Paolo
