I'm sorry you got that impression, and of course I can see how you got
it! I'm the first to admit that sometimes with teams in the Ubuntu
community you need to persevere before people give something the
attention it deserves, as this clearly does. That was our fault.

You're absolutely right - developer-level discussions are not really
our forte (that's why I haven't gone into any in this thread). Any
discussions that I had in mind would have been at a different level.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing the manpages up and running, and
discussing the best way to implement a great search bar for help.u.c.
