13Zsh was originally written by Paul Falstad tt(<pf@zsh.org>).
14Zsh is now maintained by the members of the zsh-workers mailing
15list tt(<zsh-workers@zsh.org>).  The development is currently
16coordinated by Peter Stephenson tt(<pws@zsh.org>).  The coordinator
17can be contacted at tt(<coordinator@zsh.org>), but matters relating to
18the code should generally go to the mailing list.

93sect(The Zsh Userguide)
94A userguide is currently in preparation.  It is intended to complement the
95manual, with explanations and hints on issues where the manual can be
96cabbalistic, hierographic, or downright mystifying (for example, the word
97`hierographic' does not exist).  It can be viewed in its current state at
98tt(http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Guide/).  At the time of writing, chapters
99dealing with startup files and their contents and the new completion system
100were essentially complete.
101sect(The Zsh Wiki)
102A `wiki' website for zsh has been created at tt(http://www.zshwiki.org/).
103This is a site which can be added to and modified directly by users without
104any special permission.  You can add your own zsh tips and configurations.
