I noticed the following: 1. no man page (something cmdline folks expect) or even a --help flag to provide basic usage info about the program. The help2man tool might help. 2. Maybe dependencies should be clearly stated in the install guide.. README.. web page: . nokogiri . tidy . Ruby 1.9 I was unable to test further since debian stable does not provide Ruby 1.9 by default and even after installling it, I would have had to make manual symlink adjustments. Lastly, to cover google's search engine capabilities, perhaps a language flag (any, english, german.. etc.) might be of interest to some users..? HTH CJ -- Hi!
