gEDA-user: Asking questions, obtaining answers ...

[Peter Clifton <pcjc2@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi guys,

I just came across this blog post from an Inkscape developer:

http://bryceharrington.org/drupal/inkscape-answers

Bryce is also a Canonical employee, so there may be some Launchpad
bias, but I think the idea is neat. 


We could similarly provide a more direct link to human help from gschem
and other gEDA tools, from the help menu.

I realise we currently have links to the wiki / FAQ, but feel there is a
high barrier to entry for a new user to sign up to a mailing list for an
answer to what might be a simple question, even if they can't find the
answer in the FAQ.

I'm very keen that we should encourage new users to join the gEDA
community, and think this may be a good way to get them thinking more
about gEDA as something they aren't "alone" in using.

Any thoughts?
