Attached is a patch generated with cvs diff -u against CVS HEAD
2004/10/24.

Changes to docs/gettingstarted.pod:

- removed non-functional http://cvs.perl.org/viewcvs/parrot/ (viewcvs is
there, but parrot repository is not configured)
- updated HTML generation command
- removed Tinderbox (gives 404 Not Found)
- removed Test Coverage Results (last update was Tue Jan 20 03:05:56 2004
and there are no useful summaries)
- removed Bonsai (gives 404 Not Found)

Changes to docs/glossary.pod:

- converted reference from viewcvs to cvsweb

Maybe there are some good links to Tinderbox or Bonsai or ViewCVS or they
are only temporarily down, I don't know, but having non-functional
references in documentation is not very good.

Note that some of these apply to http://www.parrotcode.org/resources.html
too.

Have a nice day.

Tinderbox is temporarily down. Either Zach needs to fix it, or I need
to finish my replacement for it.

Bonsai is something I don't think anyone ever used. I have a Bonsai
replacement on deck, although the front-end doesn't seem to work so
well. (Bonsai is basically a searchable database of all checkins.)

If a Bonsai-type tool is important to anyone, something can be made to
happen.

ViewCVS is a fully supported system. If it's ever down, something is wrong.
