Further to that message - a question or two: How often do you think mirrors update their source from CVS? We could convievably check in a snapshot of the user-notes to CVS each day, and the mirror scripts could use that to display notes. Alternatively, phpweb could include a script that downloads the notes from the central server periodically. Alternatively, the manual-page could get the comments for just that topic, and cache them locally. What do you think? Simon
