It's great when people talk about FreeDink - and even greater when
it's mentioned to this list :)

You are raising a few valid concerns, including the fact that the GNU
webpage needs to be refreshed and integrated with freedink.org.


Let's have a look at the wishlist:

Sounds like a good idea.

For the girlfriend, you'll want to check the Quest For Dorinthia D-Mod
series :)

It's automatically installed, with an entry menu, and mentioned in the
freedink.org frontpage.  Do you have suggestions on how to make it
more visible?

The freedink.org page has a "News" link:
http://savannah.gnu.org/news/?group=freedink
which is also aggregated at http://planet.gnu.org/ .

I'm trying to make more announcements at the Dink Network, which was
lacking :)


Thanks for the post!
