[Moin-devel] Re: PATCH - underlaid directory for system pages

[Fujio Nobori]

Hello,

As I mentioned before, I put my "underlay_dir" patch on my
site:

    http://toh.no-ip.com/TohToh/

There, I've got a comment saying that:

And my answer is that:

toh>>      1. Take it as it is. Put files which are really

toh>>      2. Add a new option, something like

toh>>  Well, I will go fot the second option. (toh)

Before I will go for any option, I would like to know what
others think.

Just "I like this way," or "Who needs this?" is good enough.

Thank you very much.
