John, In regards to updating the documentation, I will see what I can do. However, since I am not a developer, I rely on the released packages for my user experience. If I get a chance to see the feature in action, it will make it easier to create or modify documentation. That is another argument for including the feature in 2.6!
FWIW, I am much better at editing existing text than in dreaming up new sections. If you look at the documentation bugs I have worked on, you will see that tendency clearly. David P.S.-- My original comment got auto-corrected erroneously. I meant to say "easier for end users to grok than the db" rather than "easier for end users to groom than the db" ... ________________________________ From: John Ralls <[email protected]> To: David <[email protected]> Cc: Patrick <[email protected]>; Derek Atkins <[email protected]>; "[email protected] Devel" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, November 14, 2013 7:15 AM Subject: Re: Bug 336843 - Attach files to Transactions On Nov 13, 2013, at 10:32 PM, David <[email protected]> wrote: > As a longtime user and sometime documentarian, John, I'd have to vote for > going ahead, with some clear statement that makes it clear that this is an > initial attempt to provide a long-requested feature.

Agreed, except that there is no documentation. Perhaps you could include "now" in "sometime documentarian"?
