So? they have to *wait* until they're online again. Is it so difficult? They have only to 'postpone(GDT)' the solution of such problem. And I believe that the *important features* and tricks are already covered by both the manual and the variable description in the source code. >> once they know how to get there, there will be no need for another >> documentation blob to land on *everybody's* disk.

So it is perfectly reasonable that *we* understood/inferred that you wanted to ship worg within the org-mode.zip package. > most GNU-Emacs > distributions are package based and can easily split out -doc packages > to avoid wasting space on *everybody's* disk. Thanks for suggesting, /now/, to buid a different package. And I completely agree with you: *if* somebody will package the worg site it *must* be packaged in a *different* package (e.g. 'org-worg') and not in the Org-Mode package. > Well, the Emacs help system is *very* powerful: once you entered a > specific info topic Do you suggest to integrare org-worg in the info system? The files are written in 'org syntax' they should be converted in '(tex)info syntax'. Is it an easy task? I don't think so, but maybe Richard will enlight me again ;-) as he already did with the bandwidth/disk matter. In the end I think that 'git clone' is *the best option*: less work for org-mode developers/maintainer(s) and the people, who want it on their disks, are free to clone it... and also to commit ;-) cheers, Giovanni _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
