The reason it's not there yet is because no one has volunteered to be its maintainer yet - submit a patch to the XML source of the comparison and maintain it into the future: http://better-scm.berlios.de/contribute/#comprison_new_system There were a few people who either expressed interest in doing so and many more who complained about it, but no one became a maintainer yet. > and a lot of new details and issues solved in > newer versions are not mentioned) Specific comments (or better yet - patches) are welcome. > > Question: what happend to the iglu.org.il site and why is this list not > on a Wiki over there? The iglu.org.il site used to be present on eskimo.iglu.org.il and was not restored after the transition to tux.hamakor.org.il. We can still restore it, but I don't have control of the DNS domain, nor do I have access to a free hosting with sufficient permissions to set up all the old web-services properly. At the moment the situation is that all the old links are broken, which is the worst possible solution. > or on > http://www.hamakor.org.il/content/view/52/56/ Because: * The page is in Hebrew. The original list was in English, and I'd rather not translate it all to English at this point. (Although I'll be cooperative with someone who volunteers to do so and maintain it.). * Since the list is in English the Hebrew layout of the page interferes with it. See for example: http://www.hamakor.org.il/content/view/38/46/ * The URL is not very friendly or meaningful. (Minor problem). * I'd really prefer it to be on a world-editable wiki. > > Last but not least, if we are talking websites, is Hamakor or anyone > doing anything about the shameful abuse taking place over at gnu.org.il? What problems do you see there?
