i think you are missing one important aspect by making the unconscious assumption that people who want the documentation are *always* online when they need it, and can reach the apache site. from personal experience, my own and that of others shared with me, i can tell you that such is far from always being the case. if they cannot easily produce it from raw sources in such a situation, it must be available to them in pre-generated form as part of a/the download they use to get the sources. what are the technical (not philosophical) objections to keeping generated data under cms? -- #ken P-)} Ken Coar, Sanagendamgagwedweinini http://Golux.Com/coar/ Author, developer, opinionist http://Apache-Server.Com/ "Millennium hand and shrimp!" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
