Hi Sébastien and Thomas, Sébastien Delafond sdelaf...@gmail.com writes: As the Debian maintainer for org-mode, I cannot agree more with Thomas: since contrib is *distributed* in the regular org-mode tarball, its documentation should be found in there as well. I agree. Let's start by patching README_contribute with a new section containing short documentation for contributions. Can you help about this? Thanks, -- Bastien

The point is, that the Debian maintainer (or Fedora, Gentoo, ...) just takes the org- mode tarball and packages everything found in there.

It would be much easier IMHO, if the org-mode developers would not only distribute the code of contribs but also their documentation. I would even say that distributing code without documentation is kind of a bug. It would even be an extra advantage, if you could encourage the contrib developers to provide documentation in info format.

[O] [wish] also provide documentation for contrib
Hi, I was about to fill a bug about debians org-mode package because it does not come with documentation for the org-mode contrib org-drill. However I believe that this issue should rather be raised to you as the upstream. I'd like to encourage you to consider any org-mode contrib in your distribution without accompanying documentation a bug. I don't know enough about the info system or your build system so I'll refrain from any suggestion. Thank you, Thomas Koch, http://www.koch.ro
