My $0.02 (Canadian), for what it's worth: While Windows users may have trouble with *.bz2, and be unfamiliar enough with the extension *.tgz to not even try (even if it does work), I've never known a *nix box to have trouble with *.zip or known a unix user who had trouble with *.zip. So I'd suggest keeping the various flavors of documentation, but standardize on zip compression. That will at least remove one variable. I agree that the main point of all of this is to reduce confusion for the newbie coming to the site to download it. But 90% of those are going to be windows users, and the rest of us have gotten used to living in a windows-dominated world. Using bz2 may get you better compression and save bandwidth, but it wasn't standard the last time I installed RedHat or Debian. Zip has it's faults, but everybody is familiar with it. --Dethe
