Interesting comment. We have been trying to get newbies to read the wiki for quite a while, but apparently haven't been wildly successful. In your opinion, what is the best way to get newbies to read the wiki? Possibilities:
* Big, red link from gEDA front page (geda.seul.org)? * Link or URL accessible from "help" menu in gschem/gattrib/pcb? * Link or URL in text spewed by "gschem --help"? * What else?
