Yes, the idea was as Hans said with only the one addition that in  
the /community/projects/exhibition there is not only documentation  
but also the organization (the schedule for example) of the project.

Since there is more in there then documentation i don't think it  
should live in /docs/.

Since it's not dev like, but rather really is a community project, i  
found that hosting the documentation and organization bits in / 
community/projects/ was quite (and most) natural.

I am aware that this argument bit it self in it's tale as then the  
"output", the actual exhibition, should "naturally" also live in / 
community/project/. But, as argued in the proposal (or was it one of  
the email that lead to the proposal), that would be hiding the  
exhibition too much (to my taste). If this exhibition project succeed  
I really think it will be very valuable addition to the Pd community.

That is why i found that putting the actual exhibition closer to  
documentroot would be o.k. even when the documentation and  
organization parts would live in /community/projects/ since  
"closeness" to that "position" adds to the value of the project.

If it itches too much it (the documentation and organizing stuff) can  
be moved - of cause.

But it's not a technical reason that motivates it? The (re-)direct  
thing was 'from /exhibition to /exhibition/vol-#' rather then 'from / 
exhibition to /exhibition/FrontPage'. And also, the (re-)direct issue  
is not dead necessary but rather just nice-to-have.

Best, Steffen

PS. IOhannes, i've just been hitting reply-all; wasn't meaning to  
sent the email(s) specifically to you. You just happened to be about.  
I though the mail list software too care to multiple emails. Or is  
another matter?
