Pretty big news for Arc-ers. Still a pretty spartan distribution. Still no docs dir or even a README, which seems a bit strange.

  Installation instructions and a tutorial are on http://arclanguage.org http://arclanguage.org. (The installation instructions currently refer to the last release, because this one isn't official yet. The tutorial seems to be current, though, because nothing that basic changed.)

    Some files (besides INSTALL and TUTORIAL) you might consider including with the distribution: * README: what it is and why * ChangeLog * LICENSE * HACKING: instructions for users who might like to contribute to Arc * FAQ: answers to questions that users keep asking about * TODO: what you plan on working on next

      Edit: Ok. Just had another look at http://www.paulgraham.com/arc0.html http://www.paulgraham.com/arc0.html , specifically the part about changing stuff without even keeping track of the changes. So, I rescind my suggestion for the ChangeLog. You also say, "full of hacks and note-to-self comments about fixing them.", so there goes the possible TODO file too. :)

    It might also be beneficial to have a file or comment that explains some stuff in news.arc, specifically the admin settings for users and the site that regular users never get to see.
