Dear colleagues,

This is to reply the recent mail by the maintainers. 

It seems to me that the most important and urgent thing is to set up 
standard README files for PSTricks (and subdirectories, if reasonable).
The now obsolete file read-me.pst is a good example of what I mean.
It had clear structure and was easily understood by a novice.

In my opinion, the present layout is O.K.

Yes, it was very clear and certainly should be included.

But, generally speaking, users will be happier if all parts of PSTricks 
are either obsolete or supported. In my opinion, manuals should always be 
in the latter category (e.g., the present one still recommends read-me.pst 
for reading).

Best regards,
