About documentation: we put great efforts in including user friendlier
tools for common tasks but what use if the guy will look in a book or
ask in a news group and he will be told: "Use mutt, pine, elm".
Curses-based software that will cause bad impression on non hackers.
And our additional stuff goes unused.  :-(

So it would be good if you could look at the additional material we
included and could write a little text: telling "For this task you can
use this and this plus (for KDE users) this other program" and then
give some short descriptions.
