Hi,
Are you Messieur Provocateur or a little bit ofensive? Irked?
Your last question suggest that you assumed I did not know what I did.
It isn't a good starting point for a disscusion. Anyway I'll try to be 
nice.

"Man cron" will tell you more than I. I couldn't save .../crontab/pp 
file from my account. When I run sudo su I could. An only then invoking 
crontab -e pp.

That "you" was to all of Gobo developers. :-) Anyway I HAD to install 
the Dcron (cron) it wasn't inserted into the system.

Simply speaking I do not care if this or that admin forgot to rsync any 
mirror. I only demand of you that all links placed on GoboWiki pages 
pointed to valid (that is not empty) repositories. Information MUST be 
correct and updated.

The search engines on Recipe and Package pages are for dummies. If I 
want to know what applications I can expect from a distro I quickly 
look into ftp sites. Don't force me to use a toy.

It seems to me that some of you never heard about ergonomics.

A few words about your question. I don't care if you create one page for 
Recepes and another for Packages like the ones at present or put them 
together. I only want to have ALL information with ALL links to 
repositories, and ALL links to whatever should be on the pages in 
relation to the two subjects.

Perhaps I should wrote not "revamped" but "thought over".
Then tell me please what do mean development because as I am concerned I 
see only constant hurry in producig new version of old applications.

Don't you reckon that the GoboLinux comunity deserve to be presented 
with information what is going on in terms of GoboLinux SYSTEM 
development? Latest Recipes and Latest Packages from Gobo HQ homepage 
shows only a piece of Gobo development in the field of applications.

P.S. What about my problem with direct access to gobo list from behind my NAT server?
