The users are left to find the wiki or a Freesite for help (assuming they can reach one). I suggest making a html page in the main jar that links from the homepage. It must be contained in the install. Assume users are installing it offline from a friend or fileserver in a place where the Freenet website is blocked. Things like firewalls, what are Freesites, etc. Just a copy and paste of the documentation section of the website or wiki would help. Maybe using the l10n framework, can it handle simple html? If not, just a skeletal page with an outline where the text can be translated in sections. I would like to attempt this if it's OK with you guys. -- I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend, to the death, your right to say it. - Voltaire Those who would give up Liberty, to purchase temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. - Ben Franklin
