If it's a commonly-encountered problem with a known solution (or at |
| 7 |
least things you can try), why on earth wouldn't you want that in the |
| 8 |
documentation? If it's not there, you're going to have more users on the |
| 9 |
forums/IRC asking "why am I getting problem X?" (I've had circular |
| 10 |
dependancy problems with python in the past) and you can't exactly tell |
| 11 |
them to RTFM if there isn't one. |

It doesn't have to be in the handbook itself, a separate document would |
| 14 |
do, but if lots of people are experiencing similar problems it would be |
| 15 |
sensible, at least in my opinion, to have some sort of written |
| 16 |
documentation that they can look to. |
