Hello everybody,

Mikkel and I have been discussing where it is best to put the
documentation. Mikkel pointed out that it is somewhat cumbersome to
follow the current installation instructions since they are in the
form of a simple INSTALL file -- the frontpage points to

  http://hg.viff.dk/viff/raw-file/tip/INSTALL

>From there the user must select each link, paste it in the address bar
and download the right package.

It would definitely be better to have an online HTML file. I think we
should replace the the INSTALL file with a simple one like that:

  Installation Instructions
  ==========================

  Please see http://viff.dk/installation.html

What do people think of a scheme like this? Is it okay to ship the
releases with pointers to the web documentation?

Since we have the website in reStructuredText format, we could also
include (part of) it in the releases. That might be the best overall
solution since it would ensure that users have the correct
documentation present when downloading a release.

(I just wanted to put this out here so that Mikkel and I do not sit
here in our office and decide everything ourselves...)
