Go figure... Nobody gets to see the clever code, but everybody reads at
least some part of the docs. You'd think the docs people would be famous!

I think most admins find themselves in this same situation. It all comes
down to priorities and most do

You're right. You shouldn't have to fish for installation hints in the
changelog. There should be information about where the install doc is in

For most barely literate people out there, it's a good thing. You can
turn it off if you don't want/need it.

I heard it was beta so it may not be effective, and that it would most likely cause
lag. However,
it is worth a shot if you are getting a lot of speeders.

You take my point A) out of context... I do read the changelog to see what has changed
(i.e., the
name "changelog"). I don't read it to find what is supposed to be *in* the readme,
namely (and
identified by the readme Contents):
CONTENTS
- INSTALLATION
- CONTACT
- CREDITS
Installation Plea
and look at the effort and the linguistics they put in to their 'press
releases', why don't they put that kind of effort in to the other docs...

Okay - I managed to get it running now - phew! Got a config question for

If you don't read the changelog, then what's the point in patching? You
should only patch for a reason. And the reason is in the changelog...

Someone asks for help, and this is what it starts?
Feels like I never left the school playground ;^)
1, I think it is mentioned in the hlg docs/forums/some place some where
(cba to check at the moment tho)
2, If tech writers didn't write the docs like they were talking to
another guru.
