it up to your view again and add the URLs. At least we should try to
keep this information on our web site. Do you think it would make sense

Remark: I might add that there is only one alpha release - also about two

(This seems to me the project Gert De Keersmaecker was refering to in the
mail I responded recently).
Seems to be reasonable to start with the last project. Gerd do you have
