The user isn't expected to have a browser on the system on which the news item is being displayed. For example, I have a router box which does not have lynx or X or anything like that which would still be generating news item hits -- expecting me to install a browser on that system to read HTML or XML content is unreasonable. However, admin work on the router is done over ssh, and it's trivial to copy and paste a link from the output of some command on a remote box into a firefox window on my desktop. Perhaps I should add a note that news items should not simply be of a "see this link" form, and that any links which are used should only be for reference, not the primary source... --=20 Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Vim, Shell tools, Fluxbox, Cron) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm --Signature_Tue__1_Nov_2005_02_20_38_+0000_TmILQ3za=R/CRwx2 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDZtD496zL6DUtXhERAv6YAKCxF7q2qMW9dNwA8r1eaLshtTy8JACfabcw kmt05IRwgWOYstcaHLZvlao= =n0Ci -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Signature_Tue__1_Nov_2005_02_20_38_+0000_TmILQ3za=R/CRwx2-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
