What do you think the question mark, next to the "add project" button is for? Hover your mouse over it. ;-) > I think the Simple view should carry a link to a really easy Boinc wiki help > page which could also be added to the Advanced view help links. (The Boinc > FAQs would serve this purpose admirably but I imagine that such a link is a > no-no because it isn't official Boinc documentation.) No, please not the BOINC FAQs. It gets difficult enough to update those all alone and while it is as difficult for anyone to get an account on them as it is for the BOINC Wiki (which due to spammers now also requires an account creation), it's still difficult to keep up with any changes between clients to give people good enough help. In my opinion, the help buttons should just go to a local help file/directory, one that comes with the client, one that sits in the client's directory, one that's updated (with pictures) to THAT client's version. That way you also give help about what the thing does when someone wants to check it out off line, or on a local network. -- -- Jord. _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list boinc_dev@ssl.berkeley.edu http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
