Understood -- I have been tangentially following the TG project over  
the last 6-9 months, but I still maintain that for a newer user, the  
documentation, as-is, is somewhat confusing and the initial reply to  
what I took as a very reasonable question, given the state of the news  
and documentation came off as thinly veiled criticality of the  
original poster for not being up to date on all of the latest TG  
news.  I apologize if this was not the intent, but it certainly did  
come across that way to me.

While I am incredibly thankful for the work the TG contributors have  
done, I feel that having inaccurate documentation and news, scattered  
across multiple locations is far far worse than not having any  
information at all.

And, given that, it's perfectly reasonable to see how a 6 month old  
ticket would spur questions such as were asked -- especially if one  
was a new-ish user of the project -- and it's very very frustrating  
for me given the priority that is placed on documentation in the  
project philosophy statement.

That having been said, I really do want to close with thanking you and  
everyone else for your work on this project -- they are appreciated  
and I don't want to make it sound like I'm not respecting that.
