Before warping up inte Gnus 5.2, maybe take a look at the gnus-help
group?? I feel as though it is the same info in there as it has been
from the beginning, maybe mentioning some new features and so on?

Well, it's just to get people started really.  But if somebody wants
to rewrite it/add more stuff -- be my guest.  Mail me patches.

Hmm maybe put some of the FAQ info there? (hmm isn't there a nnfaq
backend? Hmm why not put the FAQ here instead of in the info-files (it
is hard to find in the info-tree anyhow!)

Well here comes some thoughts, don't know if I can 'implement' them
but I will think of it.

 O [  43: ding           ] 1 So you want to use the new Gnus
	This sounds a little hard, maybe:
		Welcome to Gnus! The sweat of one crazy Norwegian :-)

 O [  23: ding           ] 1 Starting up
 O [  27: ding           ] 1 Where are all the groups, then?
	Believe that the keystrokes in here is old.. C-c C-k.. ahh
        the old days! You never now how spoilt you are today kids!
	We had to get the news by hand from the newsstands ;-)

 O [  32: ding           ] 1 I want to read my mail!
	Sync with the FAQ?
	mention the other mail-formats, does really the mail-groups be
	put together with the zombies?

 O [  17: ding           ] 1 Foreign newsgroups
	Hmm you rekommend M-a to add foreign newsgroups... hmm doesn't
	work maybe mention the server buffer

 O [  21: ding           ] 1 Low level changes in GNUS, or, Wrong type argument: stringp, nil
	Upgrade 'no chance getting it work on emacs 18' to 19.whatever
 O [  21: ding           ] 1 Bugs & stuff
	Move these two to the end?

 O [   8: ding           ] 1 How do I re-scan my mail groups?
	Move this into how to read mail? The keybindings is old in here..

 O [  48: ding           ] 1 How do I set up virtual newsgroups?
		To me topics is more worth than virtual newsgroup

 O [  56: ding           ] 1 I want to kiboze everything in sight!
		Hmm ne1 using this? maybe not so important to put here

There is a FAQ backend, it's called nndoc :-).  Any scheme you come up
with should include the ability to update the saved version from its
monthly Usenet posting.  The headers are cast in concrete, so it
shouldn't be very difficult to pick out ...  If you wanted to get
fancy, bring in the raw source off the web and run Lynx 2.5 on it to
make the minidigest.

I've now changed the gnus-tut.txt file somewhat according to your
comments.
