My bad! That was left over from a bad shell script. I think I've fixed
it now. The documentation is in a separate directory
(http://sacha.free.net.ph/notebook/doc/) so that it doesn't clutter
the stable downloads, although I guess I should pack the info and HTML
files at least... Anyway, should be fixed now.

Do you know about our mailing list at address@hidden
yet? =)

Excellent point! Can you add this to the PlannerModeQuickStart
and PlannerMode pages at http://www.emacswiki.org/search.pl? =)

True, true. Would anyone like to mirror? Daily? Weekly? Something like
that? <grin> I can also push to a mirror whenever I update, if you
prefer that.

Handy way of hyperlinking everything. You can use WikiWords and they'll
automatically get linked to the project pages.

Welcome to Planner! =)
