Perhaps I'm weird (OK, s/Perhaps//), but I recall using the Gnus docs when I first tried Gnus and successfully configuring everything. This was before I was comfortable with Emacs Lisp at all. These days I work on Gnus so I'm not impartial :) I've wanted to use the Gnus assistants (available in theory for years now) to make the initial setup easier. I simply haven't had time. This would be a fun project for someone interested in making Gnus users less frustrated. Ted
