Ping?  I'd like some opinions please.  This is about how the Gnus manual
coexists with emacswiki.org and similar sites, not just about GMail, so
I don't want to make the decision on my own.  

My vote is for freezing the information through some semi-automated
system that updates CVS from emacswiki.org or other sources (never
automatically!), and keeping all the information plus links to the
original and credits in a separate manual section.

This requires a look at any possible legal issues of bringing in
emacswiki.org content into the manual.  Who would know about this?

Thanks
Ted
