Look, sometimes I know what I'm talking about. The file is out of 
date not just in terms of how to install Geeklog but with other facts 
it contains.

This alone should make anyone reading the documentation wonder 
whether Geeklog is still in development

Not since he started 2.0 as I understand it. He defers to Dirk all 
the time on this message board so I presume he doesn't think he's in charge.

That link is out of date. And even if you find the mailing list, no 
one's emailed to it since 2005.

Another dead link.


My point was that this file needs to be rewritten. It's out of date. 
This file is also in the 1.4.1 distribution that anyone could be 
downloading right now for the very first time. It should be updated.
