One thing that bugged me in the past is the use of "BLODA" in the FAQ text ("all software on the BLODA") -- since it's part of the text, an obvious question is what it means, and, confusingly enough, that's not explained in the text that BLODA links to. I eventually googled my way to the explanation that time -- and since fork issues are rare enough, it's been enough time to forget the meaning of that thing, so I just went down the same path. Again. I'm guessing that someone thought that it'll catch on as a term, but it still looks like a cygwin-ism. (For extra credit, google now helpfully suggests images -- look for it now, then imagine that someone else looked at your screen as you're trying to stutter something that sounds technical.) It would be nice if the above text says just "all software on ", or otherwise explains the meaning in the #faq.using.bloda entry. A second thing that could use some friendly improvement is to list the email address of this list in the page that describes it. AFAICT, this should be https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/ -- but there is nowhere that I see there where the actual email is found... In theory, I guess that I could read through https://cygwin.com/lists.html and reach the point where it says "Mail sent to themailinglistname@cygwin.com will go to the list" and guess that the "cygwin:" entry means that that's the email. But in practice this is as good as not being there... -- ((x=>x(x))(x=>x(x))) Eli Barzilay: http://barzilay.org/ Maze is Life! -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
