Nice! However, the page seems to be in a namespace "tag" which was probably not on purpose. But renaming the page isn't that hard. I'd say it should live under /howtos/win32/getting-started >> Then, if we would include Mingw for C development, then Python users >> will arrive and request inclusion of a Python runtime, then the Perl >> guys, PHP, Ruby, ... >> The installer would end up in a 3 GB file with everything included. > Anyway, what I proposed an addition rather than a replacement. > It's just like there is a GTK bundled version. There is a fundamental difference: the GTK runtime is necessary to start Geany at all while a Mingw/GCC environment is only helpful (not even necessary) to write C code with Geany. Please don't mix this. Regards, Enrico -- Get my GPG key from http://www.uvena.de/pub.asc
