The info is there, but most users never read more than part 1 of the |
| 20 |
Handbook (that is, the installation part). We could, and should in my |
| 21 |
opinion, add a big fat warning towards the end of the installation part, |
| 22 |
that there is extremely useful information to be found in the other |
| 23 |
parts of the Handbook. Maybe we could especially mention some of the |
| 24 |
more useful topics, and the elog system would be one of them. |
