[Fwd: RE: Release of ESS 5.1.23]

Paul:

An html version of the documentation should be in the doc/html
sub-directory of your distribution.  If not, then it is also available
online @
http://software.biostat.washington.edu/ess/doc/html

As far as how people learn about emacs and ESS goes...  People have
problems that only emacs and/or ESS can solve.  They know what their
problems are and they start looking for solutions.  If emacs/ESS doesn't
seem to solve their problem, then they ask on this mailing list if
anybody has a solution.  And, hopefully somebody does.  If not, then the
person who asksed might create a solution and contribute it to the
project.
