Hi Chuck,
I know that org-drill has its own webpage with good documentation. The point
is, that the Debian maintainer (or Fedora, Gentoo, ...) just takes the org-
mode tarball and packages everything found in there. It would be an extra
burden for the maintainer to go out to every single contrib site and somehow
add the documentation in the package.
It would be much easier IMHO, if the org-mode developers would not only
distribute the code of contribs but also their documentation. I would even say
that distributing code without documentation is kind of a bug.
It would even be an extra advantage, if you could encourage the contrib
developers to provide documentation in info format.
Best regards,
Thomas Koch, http://www.koch.ro
