I knew that info existed. But the few times I looked at an info page it got me less information than the corresponding man page. So info never registered in my internal list of information sources. Since about the turn of the century www+google have firmly established themselves as the one stop to retrieve howto information. So the most efficient way to get info pages to the reader might be a mirror on a web page which is indexed by the crawlers of google and company. > On my system I do: > info > Search for 'geda' > /geda works on my system too. But since I never got the hang of info in the first place, I never got that far. BTW, on my system "info gschem" returns the man page of gschem. This reinforces the impression that info does not do much beyond man. >> Somebody with write access to the wiki might remove the attribute "on- >> line" to make the heading compatible for offline use, too) > I believed you do have write access, do you? Not anymore. My login got removed three times for no reason -- just like everybody else on the wiki. No details were given, no warning in advance. It just happened. Apparently, this was the wiki operators idea of how to handle a migration to a different server. I reapplied and got access again. During this time geda devs indicated on this list, they did not appreciate the work done in the wiki. In my case, this was mainly http://wiki.geda-project.org/geda:faq-gschem and http://wiki.geda-project.org/geda:pcb_tips After my wiki account was gone for the third time I decided to engage elsewhere. The necessity to submit to a "code of conduct" did not help, either. >> (BTW, wouldn't it be nice to refer >> the user directly to the manual in the first place?) The very last > My gschem has 'Gschem User Guide' as the first entry in the 'Help' menu Fair enough. There is also a link to a local copy of faq-gschem.html, to a local copy of the geda wiki and to the internet version of the wiki. All of them have a dedicated accel key combo. Unfortunately, the local copies come with no navigation at all. No index, no site map, no context. As a seasoned user I sort of know how these pages relate and what to expect. But how does this catalog work for a newbie? Maybe less would be more: Provide just one entry for documentation and redirect users from there. > (). Does yours has one? (However, all the 'Help' menu entries > don't work for me for some reason :) Wine seems to have broke them, This is probably a MIME issue. The mime type of the documentation files is "text/html". To show the applications your desktop uses to open them do: gvfs-mime --query text/html Most likely, it says the default application is wine. It also presents a list of desktop files registered for file with the mime type text/html. A sub set of these desktop files is presented as "recommended applications". To change the default to the www browser iceweasel you could do: gvfs-mime --set text/html iceweasel.desktop An alternative would be mimeopen -d LOCAL/PATH/TO/doc/geda-gaf/wiki/index.html This presents a list of applications. Actually, this list is compiled from the list of desktop files returned by gvfs-open. Choose one and it will be the default for the current user from now on.
