Re: MX-18.3 RC1 Feedback
True but a label/comment is very different from a suggestion in the forums. For example, AFAIK, people are not tired of "README" files (taken from "drink me" and "eat me" from Alice In Wonderland).
IMO, the label "Read the Fine Manual" does several positive things. First it is telling people here is the manual that people have been telling you to read, in a very unambiguous and slightly humorous way. Second, our manual is superb! I think it is at least partially responsible for our newfound DW fame. It really is fine and I think we should tell people that up front.
I know of no better way to tell people "here is the documentation, please read it". Especially people who are tired of being told to RTFM. One common complaint/suggestion after being told to RTFM is "where is this manual you speak of?" Providing a "Read the Fine Manual" label relieves the tension from being told too often to RTFM.
I much prefer being direct, unambiguous, and slightly humorous over being slightly ambiguous and mamby-pamby.
OTOH, I'm weird so my senses of humor and propriety can sometimes be far from universal.

How about "Manual" it's obvious it's a User Manual and it's obvious it's for MX...

I agree. Then we can get more fancy for the mouse-over text, if we want.

Perfect. With ellipsis, many would believe they can't read the entire name. I quite like the question mark icon for this.
