[Vimoutliner] Discrepancies with Debian/Ubuntu, documentation, and some questions

[Mark S.]

Hello,

I've noticed that are have already been some posts from people about not being 
able to get VO to work under Debian/Ubuntu. Debian/Ubuntu wants to put the 
various VO file/directories under the directory:

   /usr/share/vim/addons

but (apparently) the proper directory is

  /usr/share/vim/vim71

for vim 7.1. Or at least that's where I had to move them to get VO to work.

Possibly someone with authority could alert the Debian people of the 
inconsistency.

The documentation for VO refers to a perl script having the pl extension 
(vo_maketags) and to a couple of python scripts having the py extension. 
However, Debian puts these files into /usr/bin without an extension. However, 
the VO menu still calls otl2html.py (with the extension). 

QUESTION: Which file do I modify to get the menu to only call otl2html 
(without the extension) ?

The documentation refers to comma-comma commands, but apparently the backslash 
is the right keystroke for the job under Debian. 

QUESTION: I like comma-comma better -- is there a way I can get this behavior 
back?

QUESTION: Why is the vimoutliner.org site so dormant? It looks like nothing 
has happened since September 07. I'm asking because I'm hesitant to start a 
new learning curve on a product if its no longer supported.

Thanks --
Mark
