Re: [CZT-Devel] New CZT website and nightly builds

[Tim M. <tm...@un...>]

Yes, seconded. The website looks great, and its nice to see some 
documentation coming back onto the website after we lost the stuff on 
the wiki a few years back. Nightly builds will be great too -- I'm a big 
fan of them in general.

Thanks for the excellent work.
