If a user was admining over ssh, it would be far easier for them to load www.g.o in their browser vs. copying link from terminal to their browser, but for that matter, why is ssh relevent wrt links in files, but not when we are talking about it being lightweight? If a user is not expected to have a browser to recieve the news, how can they be expected to have one to view doc's about it. Seems like these doc's should just be added to the news, none of them are _that_ long.
