Hey, we try, sometimes we miss things.

Both pages point you to the fvwm-workers list.

Jason will be updating the old page to link to the new page when he
gets a chance. This is the first workday the new pages have been
announced.

I'll go thru the FAQ and update the information on the Web site and
the references to Fvwm.tmpl that were reported, I'll be looking for
other things that are out of date.

The updated FAQ may take a few days to make it to our web site.

If you have other problems with the fvwm documentation, feel free to
bring them to our attention. Problem reports in the form of patches
are welcome.

The 2 different sites documentation shouldn't need integration, we
derived the new from the old. If we missed something let us know.
