The "Contact" button occurs outside the context of the page, in the page
wrapper, and leads to a generic address :
http://www.ctan.org/contact/
It was not (and is not) at all clear to me that the "Contact" button is
intended to provide a feedback mechanism for the page, and when clicked,
the visitor is offered just two options :
> In case of technical problems with these Web pages please
> contact webmaster at ctan.org
>
> In case of upload problems with packages please contact
> ctan at ctan.org
Neither of these are appropriate if one wants to report (e.g.,) a
factual error on the page. and the fact that the link fails to capture
the page context as in, for example :
http://www.ctan.org/contact/feedback.aspx?URL=http://www.ctan.org/pkg/phaistos
(with appropriate URL encoding))
means that it is effectively useless for such purposes.
