Well, some people (including me) have desktops that are non-UNIX and run
GNATS on back-room servers with no X.

I'd say we should try to create them for beta 1. I am planning to redo the
GNATS web site next week (apart from the front page, which is fine), so I
can create the PDF and publish it then.

Good point, but I'd still recommend including a HTML version in the
distribution itself, since a lot of people are more comfortable with
browsing web pages than using Info.

I have opinions which probably differ quite a lot from yours in that area,
but this isn't the forum for that kind of thing. Anyway, we don't need to
worry too much about the size of the resulting file when we publish it as a
separate download.
