Great pod, as per usual. Really missed Dave though. Loved the talk on documentation. Help is something that I gave up with when I was writing an Ubuntu in PyGTK app. Man pages are fine, but offline help – forget it. I found trying to write some offline help for a PyGTK application I was writing pretty much impossible. There’s a single five year old blog post that tells you how to bring up a Yelp window from a PyGTK app, and there’s absolutely nothing that tells you how to compile a Yelp file from Docbook for a PyGTK app. I even tried asking for help on several IRC channels to deafening silence. When I heard that one of the showstoppers for Banshee was the lack of off-line help I wasn’t at all surprised – for some odd reason GNOME doesn’t really help or encourage you to write it.
