[gfsd]Re: CLISP on GNU directory and GNU web pages

[Sam Steingold]

This is a regular reminder/recap of the problems, some of which are
almost a year old.  One problem is gone, one is added.

still there.

still there.

Mohit fixed this.  Thanks!

Now the problem #3 is

3. <http://www.gnu.org/directory/clisp.html>:
   - 2.28 was released on 2002-03-03, not 2002-03-04
     [since CLISP version have been numbered with dates for years, and
      the numeric versions were introduced only recently, we are very
      careful about release dates]

   - the HTML is invalid due to errors in the source
     <http://www.gnu.org/gnulist/cordelia/CLISP.txt>
     I append a patch.
     
     I have to re-iterate the importance of letting _me_ maintain this
     file (or at the very least giving me write access to it!)
     This can be easily accomplished by moving it to the CLISP web area
     under <address@hidden:/webcvs/software/clisp> and
     replacing the current source with a symbolic link.
     

I urge you to validate all your pages with nsgmls or
