i missed 'zsh' by less than a week but i did get 'zsh-org' and
'zsh-users' for continuity with gitlab and github

if we do like codeberg, and the 'zsh' person doesn't step forward, we
could carry on with one of those

in the mean time, if any devs want ownership access, e-mail me your user
name on there and i'll add you


re: the site, i like the idea of merging everything into zsh.org

the mirrors seem like w/e, since they're just source distributions i
assume 95% of visitors don't care about them either way

it would be nice if we could avoid breaking the links to the actual docs
if at all possible. searchability is already kind of sub-optimal, it
would be a shame to make it worse. we could end up like bash where most
searches return absolutely nothing from the actual documentation unless
you explicitly add 'manual' to the search terms (sometimes not even
then)


btw, maybe this is too ot, but i've always wished that our documentation
was versioned, similar to how postgres does it:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/index.html
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/index.html
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/14/index.html
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/index.html
etc

at least that used to work, all versions seem to redirect to 'current'
now for some reason

anyway maybe something to think about in the course of this project

I was going to put to the group whether we wanted versioned docs. One thing, I think if we're going to 'freeze' the old docs at sourceforge, we need to update them with a banner something like 'These docs are for versions of zsh prior to 5.10, our current docs are at https://zsh.org/Doc/current/'
