Indeed, and that's how I ended up in this mailing list and why I'm
boring you right now :) . But honestly, I had to search for quite a
while. I'm rather used to mozilla website, with all its updates and so
on, so without clear information, it wasn't easy.

Agreed. Perhaps an overhaul was a bit exaggerated but frankly I think
that some more information would be useful. A notice telling that as
of ...... (fill in) the development is still going on, and that for
more information one should have a look at the FAQs and the mailing
list archives with a link would be an acceptable compromise IMHO.
Also, patakuti's Lynx with the installer should definitely be hosted
on the main site for Windows users.

One more thing: As you may have guessed, English is not my native
tongue: in exchange, I'd gladly do my best to translate any Lynx
related file into French and/or Turkish. Just realise that you'll have
to cope with a newbie and that I'll need time. Apart from that, feel
free to send me a message if a translation would be useful. I'd be
more than pleased if I could help the project in some way.

Right. A little question though: is this mailing list the right place
for newbie end users with their boring questions, or is there a better
place for them (and me)?

Best regards.
