IMHO the CVS stuff should *only* be mentioned in the Wine User Guide (and the Developers Guide would explain the more advanced usage patterns). Then it'd be pretty easy to simply add a small "For CVS download of Wine source, see <Wine Users Guide link>". As the Wine Users Guide would have a link to the Wine Developers Guide for advanced stuff on its own, you even wouldn't need to mention the Wine Devel Guide CVS link, too... > * Something to keep in mind: the App DB menus don't render properly > in Konqy.

Bad, bad Konqy again ;) Good point, though. > I suggest we work off of your latest proposal, and suggest 'patches' > to it, if anyone feels there should be changes.

Hmm, could someone yell "me!" when it comes to finding someone to mail a "this is it so far" status report to wine-devel ? I think it'd be good to have a mail describing the current agreement. And no, I won't do it, since I've got way too many things to do in the less than 2 hours left until my departure.
