Hey you two!
I really think, that the new region concepts should wait. Of course always
nice to talk and already find flaws, problems and solutions. As you bo5th have
already said, Ecasound/Nama put a few constraitns on the matter or ask for
slightly different approaches. A command language is a different access to
things. Also, even if Nama could change the prompt on the fly, it would be
bloody annoying to me. :-) Still, the bus approach in general sounds good and
reasonable.
Why do I want the tutorials as part of the online help system? Because
user's hate external information. :-) Admittedly a manpage is durable for a
lot of them. I haven't seen many RTFMs lately on the LAU/LAD. I don't follow
my other lists too well. Still, if the tutorials can be broken down, they can
also be integrated into Nama. If we could agree on using a web browser to
display them, then the only problem is to somehow index them. Or we could have
a second convenience program: nama_toot, which helps the user search and
browse them. OK, but even that is something we don't have to worry about right
now. It's again just an idea for the future, which sounds doable and holds
some attraction to new users, especially seeing, that a command language does
seem slightly frightening, even to some experienced users. I also thought,
that with allthe consistency in Nama, some concept exposing documentation
would be fantastic as well. Well I have it at the back of my mind, while going
through commands.yml.
Helpingly yours :-)
