Re: gEDA-user: 7400, gschem and gsch2pcb

Interesting comment.  We have been trying to get newbies to read the
wiki for quite a while, but apparently haven't been wildly
successful.  In your opinion, what is the best way to get newbies to
read the wiki?  Possibilities:

*  Big, red link from gEDA front page (geda.seul.org)?
*  Link or URL accessible from "help" menu in gschem/gattrib/pcb?
*  Link or URL in text spewed by "gschem --help"?
*  What else?
