yes. I put it there after the original disappeared. I'll fix the URL.

It doesn't need to. Just because https is a good idea on those
new-fangled sites that require you to be logged in so you can be
properly tracked like a good little internet-user, there is no reason
to provide the expo website as https. So tell your browser to piss off
and let you browse as you see fit :-) We have many more important
things to fix first.

Yes. That would probably be a good idea. I used to package the therion
wiki in a -doc package. I'll leave this bug open as a wishlist reminder.
