New issue 599 by ***@gmail.com: documentation on building xmonad is
missing
https://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=599


What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. http://xmonad.org/
2. http://xmonad.org/download.html
3. run darcs get commands
4. http://xmonad.org/intro.html
5. This only explains how to build sources from hackage.
6. Look in the README file of the darcs sources.
7. Same as #5, except it also says how to install from a tarbal from
http://code.haskell.org

Also in the README is
"Building:

Building is quite straightforward" ...

It then says how to install dependencies, then skips straight to running
xmonad without actually saying how to build.

You're right, some instructions do seem to be missing.

Where is the source of the xmonad website hosted these days?

Changes pushed to github.com/davidlazar/xmonad.org appear on the website
relatively frequently (on the order of a few hours).

Oh, cool, I didn't know that. Neat.
