+Zsh was originally written by Paul Falstad tt(<pf@zsh.org>).
+Zsh is now maintained by the members of the zsh-workers mailing
+list tt(<zsh-workers@math.gatech.edu>).  The development is currently
+coordinated by Andrew Main (Zefram) tt(<zefram@zsh.org>).  The coordinator
+can be contacted at tt(<coordinator@zsh.org>), but matters relating to
+the code should generally go to the mailing list.

+sect(Availability)

+sites are kept frequently up to date.  The sites marked with em((G))
+may be mirroring tt(ftp.math.gatech.edu) instead of the primary site.
+The sites marked with em((H)) may be mirroring tt(ftp.cs.elte.hu)
+instead of the primary site.
