  Hello people!

This patch adds a link to the Algol 68 front-end development list to

Thanks!

Sure.

If I understand https://gcc.gnu.org/codingconventions.html correctly that 
would be "run-time library", though I see we are quite inconsistent in our 
pages. - Sandra?

(Jose, you can go ahead and push the patch. Depending on what Sandra 
advises, I'll change existing occurrences.)

I agree we've been inconsistent about this usage.  "Run-time library" is 
correct for normal English rules for adjectival phrases, but I think 
nowadays common usage is leaning towards "runtime library"; seen in 
Wikipedia, Microsoft, OpenMP, Intel, Arm, ...  and the "GCC Runtime 
Library Exception".  :-S  I'd be OK with either way -- switching to 
"runtime library" everywhere and in our internal style guide, or 
following the current recommendation everywhere.
