Stefano, sorry to bother you again, but now I'm pretty sure I've *not* understood the *key point* of your request (that you have briefly mentioned before, but that I skipped, because it was unclear to me). Some question come to my mind (see below for a general question): Could you, please, elaborate who are the distribution editors? + Carsten with file org-mode.zip? + FSF emacs+[stable]-orgmode? and what do mean, when you say "upstream"/"downstream" packages? Do you suggest that the org-mode-code + worg-site is packaged and built as: org-mode-worg-site (upstream) for developers / then splitted in / org-mode+info.zip (downstream) that user will download-install? More generally. I mean, before getting involved in Org's adventure Carsten wrote some 'little' .el files, but I think he might be lacking of a 'vision' as packager, if I look at org-mode from a "DD point of view". Org-mode grew from requests of users and the "worg site" is the *current*, as you wrote, answer to the need of documentation. But, being DD, you have a really wide experience in packages and packaging, that in org-mode community, I think, almost nobody else has. So could you, please, suggest how will you split/build/create/organize... the org-mode-worg-site? Thank you for your time and patience, Giovanni
