There's a volunteer web site designer working on a new scheme. Let's hope people like it. I'll let you know when he sends me a draft. -- Cheers Jorge.-

Yes, judging from what I can find on web forums, it is common for people to try dillo and not be able to get the dpi stuff to work. And, since they don't want to battle with something when they don't even know whether they like it yet, they give up. Spelling out what is happening (on the website and in README) would be a very good thing, I think. (Plus I personally like to put the pieces of programs under my user's dir manually rather than letting make install do whatever it wants.) I think the requirements are: - dillo and dpidc need to be in the path somewhere. - dpid can be in ~/.dillo/, or in bindir, or in the path - the dpi structure (dpi/[dpi]/... goes under ~/.dillo or libdir/dillo. - dpidrc goes in ~/.dillo or sysconfdir/dillo (And a bit about how dillo finds dpid, and then dpid finds the dpis based on dpidrc and all that...) > P.S.

It might even be worth making it plain by default, and having a little stylesheet to add color.

At most, the instructions to build dillo [1] could include suggestions how to run dillo locally. No more special handling should be needed (autoconf takes care of this case, yes). The instructions could be as scarce as this (hope they are correct): If you choose to install under a different prefix (./configure --prefix=dir), note that dillo needs the binaries dpid, dpidc to be in your $PATH.

The logo is nice, but the light background with white text means sore eyes to me. -- -- Rogut?s Sparnuotos

Do we really need to add special handling for this? Normally I would expect binaries in $PREFIX/bin and dpis also in $PREFIX/bin or $PREFIX/libexec. The user has to use a PREFIX where he has write access of course. But then the rest is taken care of by autoconf and friends, no?

The user may not have permission to install system-wide, and in that case probably dillo, dpid, and dpidc should be in ~/bin and the dpis in ~/.dillo/dpi. -- Cheers Jorge.-

The idea was to have most dillo-related things in that directory. Subdirectories in ~/bin look rare, so lacking a better idea it ended in ~/.dillo > - Do you think it would be silly to make a little manpage for dpidc? Yes. AFAIS the main use of dpidc is "dpidc stop". The "chat" idea is interesting for testing dpis. I don't remember having implemented it though! :).
