Users should not be encouraged to use unusable systems or lose data. A minority of folks are technically interested, but I'd call them developers. As I don't expect my car manual to explain how engineers can (dis)assemble a car I wouldn't want the user documentation to explain developers' stuff either. For getting help there is the page "How to get help" in the new docs. > So do you agree that reasonably detailed "building Evolution" howto-s > for some popular distributions would make sense, e.g. as an Appendix? I don't as it will need constant updating and enough volunteers to keep the different distros up-to-date. History tells that this is unlikely to happen. If I had to have a page addressed to developers I would just link to http://live.gnome.org/Jhbuild and its subpages anyway. andre -- mailto:[email protected] | failed http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper | http://www.openismus.com _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
