RE: FAQ needed (was wget: relative link to non-relative)
I'd love to, but I don't have the time either. Just a question, will there be anybody else with write-access to the cvs repository for the time ? Just for emergency, fatal bugs and so on ? Don't misunderstand, I'm not proposing myself.

Yes. To make things worse, I am going to serve the civil service for the next eight months. I was thinking about the bug reports... although I have long opposed to this, now I believe it might actually be better to switch to Bugzilla for tracking bugs. That way, even if maintainers are not active 100% of the time, the bugs at least don't get lost. > What I think is needed is some kind of wget-usage-FAQ. Yes. It could at least answer questions like "how do I do wget http://foo/bar/*";?

Re: FAQ needed (was wget: relative link to non-relative)
I have a decent amount of experience setting up Faq-O-Matic: http://faqomatic.sourceforge.net/ But I'm really not interested in setting it up on a site I don't have root access to. I tried that once already for someone and it was the biggest pain. I run a server that has the domain names "robust.colorado.edu" (which I may lose in three years), and "danielwebb.us", which I will keep indefinetely. Since Faq-O-Matic allows user contribution, multiple people can add to or edit it. I will set this up on the condition that a link to it is placed in the "Documentation" section of the wget main page, and not the "Add-ons" section. Also, concerning the mailing list, I am not interested in using a kludgy web-based interface to an email archive. Where are the mbox download links? If there is not one, I am willing to set it up on my server, on the condition that the link will be in the wget main page "Mailing list" section, and not the "Add-ons" section.

FAQ needed (was wget: relative link to non-relative)
This seems to be a bad timeframe for most developers or skilled individuals following wget, mostly due to real-world time constrainsts as far as I understand. This means most "easy" questions won't be answered even by those developers/experts who still do look into the list whenever possible. With "easy" questions I mean those who can be answered by reading thoroughly the documentation or by digging through the archives (the archive at mail-archive.com seems to be rather complete), although I admit sometimes it is not very easy finding the correct posts. Still, I think there is a set of usual questions posted from time to time (site not downloadable without --user-agent ecc.). What I think is needed is some kind of wget-usage-FAQ. Which means somebody needs to step up for maintaining it - anybody volunteers ? In-depth wget knowledge would not be needed for that I suppose, just the time for adding questions and answers when they come up. It probably should be possible setting up another branch of the website with access to another individual, or possibly there is some support (scripts) at sunsite.dk already for automatic bug/faq generation ?
