Thanks very much. A few additional items which should be resolved with a
WML 2.0.12 or WML 2.1.0:

1. Just remove the references to the old engelschall.com FTP locations
   as they are not carrying WML stuff any more since a longer time.

2. On the title page http://thewml.org/ there is a "Browse"
   which points to a not existing http://thewml.org/distrib/wml-2.0.11/
   and the link to http://thewml.org/distrib/wml-SNAP/ seems to
   be old stuff.

3. The CVS on thewml.org is still at the state of WML 2.0.9. The
   changes between 2.0.9 and 2.0.11 are missing there. I would like to
   see the Changes comitted to this CVS including a CVS tag for 2.0.10
   and 2.0.11 or the SVN on thewml.org should be finally used. Then
   the CVS history should be imported via cvs2svn and then development
   should be done there.

   I can also install CVSTrac for the CVS or the SVN so we have the
   repository (and optionally even a bug tracking system) online under
   thewml.org available. Just tell me whether you wish to further
   develop WML in CVS or SVN. I recommend SVN for the long-term, but in
   case you want less conversion/import efforts we can keep CVS, too.

4. The ChangeLog in the wml-2.0.11 distribution doesn't tell anything
   about 2.0.11. It stopped at 2.0.9.

5. See http://cvs.openpkg.org/dir?d=openpkg-src/wml for a bunch
   of patches we still have to apply to WML 2.0.11 to get it running on
   all platforms. Just incorporate those of them which make sense for
   you, too.
