bug#56508: Suggestions for the "Help" menu


From: Stefan Kangas
Subject: bug#56508: Suggestions for the "Help" menu
Date: Mon, 11 Jul 2022 21:04:51 -0500

Severity: wishlist

Suggestions for the "Help" menu:

    1. Remove "Emacs FAQ".  It is not nearly as up-to-date as the
       manual, and most users these days will either find it by other
       means or just search the web.

    2. Remove "Emacs Psychotherapist".  Sorry, but in terms of chatbots
       there are *way* better ones out there these days.  If anything,
       move it to "Games".

    3. Remove "Non(Warranty)" and "Getting New Versions" as it is
       already available under "About Emacs".

    4. Under "Describe" we have the item "Show all of Mule Status" which
       is a rather hard-to-understand name.  Does it need to be there?
       Should it get a better name?

    5. "Describe Coding System Briefly" under "Describe" -- is this
       useful?  I just get this cryptic message here:

       F[U:],K[U:],T[U:],P>[=:],P<[=:], default F[U:],P>[U:],P<[U:]

I believe the above changes would make the "Help" menu more useful and
less overwhelming.  Too much choice simply makes it harder to navigate.
