| |
If 2.0.working is coming out soon, the modules system should be being used by more people generally, especially cluless ones like myself, so here's a small suggestion for a patch to the readme (against pre2.0.4 because that's what I've got up to so far)

This is especially true for the development releases, since each new release contains new code which has not been debugged.
