I saw that in his reply to my journal comment too and thought the same but
on looking at the docs it isn't obvious that there is a mailing list.

The website at www.tt2.org lists one but that's not linked from the docs
either as far as I can see.

IIRC, Andy has a rather complex set of source files that are used to build
the docs for a release so what's on CPAN is not enough to do the whole
job. Do you know if Alias used the CVS version ?

Although I suspect that the small changes wouldn't be affected by this.

Don't get me wrong, I've very happy to have someone step up and contribute
in such a way, I was just commenting on the lack of announcement to the
list. I'm amazed that someone could care enough to get joint
maintainership WITHOUT coming across the mailing list. IT was more of a
social than a technical observation :-)
