The OpenSSL team members will take care of creating links, make things
available for download or whatever.

I definitely disagree here. We have seen quite a lot of bad advice
given on openssl-* lists, especially when it came to the question
of PRNG seeding. (Seeding with a constant string will shut up the
PRNG seed test but will weaken the encryption, even make it useless.)
The quality is an integral part of the product. Not that OpenSSL has
been a bad product from the start, but 0.9.5 was a major step forward
and 0.9.6 already has excellent quality (counted by the number of serious
bugs found since the release :-). A lot of serious work was been done by
serious people to reach this state. The documentation must keep up with
these standards :-)

Good look.

Germany is not large enough to ride a day :-)

PS. As you already noted I only express my personal opinions. I do not speak
in any way for the OpenSSL developers team.
