If you can help me write useful install instructions for PDL, I will be happy to help with any documentation / we tasks related to the release. My website proposal is currently stuck because I have an Install icon and I don't have any decent install page to point it to. The instructions don't have to be exhaustive, they just have to be *updated* and *correct*. Above all, what I need most is: (1) Confirmation that the information on this page is updated and correct: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/pdl/index.php?title=Installing_PDL_on_Windows (2) Updated and correct instructions for Mac OS X. The instructions on Karl's website are 4 years old. For Linux I just plan to tell people to use their package manager or go to the manual install page. Trying to write distribution-specific information is a hopeless task. You just end up with outdated pages, duplication, and inconsistent content. Bad bad bad.
