I think this is crucially important to Leo's future. We need a way to disseminate the challenges people have and how they use Leo to tackle that challenge. In many cases I would hope that videos can be created. It's nice to show how features work but even better to show a workflow of "I had this type of information and this is how I used Leo to organize it, manipulate it and get what I needed from it". > @bool split_direction = vertical > Can the community take a vote on how many people use the vertical split (or would want to if they didn't know about it)? My guess is that it's the majority, which would indicate that it needs to be vertical by default. > Okay, that's enough ignorant comment from me.

After some thought and some offline discussion with Geoff I'm not a full supporter of a users forum because I think without fail posts and attention will get split between the users and original, but I think his feelings of being a little put off of "Rev XXXXXX" and "traceback" that are justified. For the documentation it is probably nicer for new users to point to users as more a help forum. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
