[mesa-users] Mesa websites

Fri Sep 14 11:00:55 EDT 2012

The sourceforge page is the site that reflects what Bill has to say about the code. It is the official devoloper's page. Christina, if you find inconsistencies on that page, report this on the Mesa-user list (like you did), and hopefully someone will update the sourceforge page. 

The mesastar.org page is meant as a user forum. It depends on the user community to take on responsibility to take care of certain things, like Agnes has done for the release notes, and many others already as well. If the user community wishes changes in the way mesastar.org is run and setup this should be discussed in the corresponding mesastar.org discussion forum.
