To make an Info node would be nice, but any newbie that bother
looking in the info node would probably first look on the Net. I
realize now how Info is nice and useful but when I started using
gnus it was not the place I was looking for information.
Ideally, the same way that when you start emacs you have
information on how to do the tutorial, I think that when starting
gnus having a message that say:
Learn how to use gnus by typing C-c C-whatever
and then be able to access the tutorial would be much nicer.
Especially because that line can be put only if nothing is defined
such as group or server, so only newbie would see it.
