Hi Scott,

Please double-check the names of the ports you add in Gentoo Portage first. It's not dev-lang/freepascal but dev-lang/fpc, physfs is in dev- games and it's not 7zip but p7zip. I did not find a way to rename pages, so once a page is created such mistakes seem to require copying the contents to the correct page and removing it from the old one, losing the edit history (cf. bzr vs. bazaar, which both existed in Gentoo Portage and I chose the wrong one).

I also think we should decide on a way to document links. On second thoughts I don't like my initial way of calling each link "Homepage", I'd prefer to just use the link so that it can be read right away. What do you think? I'd suggest the link should go to the main page and be somewhere in the top, people can then still browse to the respective download or checkout pages from there. That should help people understand what the potentially cryptic port name is all about. :)

Regards,

Andreas
