Subject: gnus-declare-backend in the manual
Date: Tue, 28 Aug 2001 00:45:45 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m366b8u700.fsf@multivac.cwru.edu> (raw)

I think "Hooking New Backends Into Gnus" node of the manual could
mention that the call to gnus-declare-backend belongs in the backend's
.el file.  This was a detail I didn't figure out when I started
nnmaildir, and at the time, none of the standard backends used it, so
there was no example to work from.  I guess gnus-declare-backend
should appear in the index, too, pointing to this node.

Also, how does one decide which abilities ought to be listed?  E.g.,
it seems that 'respool corresponds straightforwardly to
nnchoke-request-{move,accept}-article.  But if so, why bother
duplicating this information?
