Hi Thomas. Sorry I haven't had any time to do anything recently, but
school is coming to a close ;)

Well, for a first go at web site policy we have
gstreamer.net/README.website. Then, everything that should go in cvs
(release notes, other documents) should be added to cvs.

I have an opinion about files, and that is that sourceforge's files
release mechanism is sufficient. Maybe we can keep RPMs around for
prereqs, but it seems that keeping gst rpms on the web site is not
necessary, and it clutters up things.

Tho other note I have is that debian packages all go in one directory,
afaik.
