* After a little thought, I've decided that I don't want random people's
comments or discussion in my Racket manuals. A simple HTML "a" element
feedback link on each page would be OK with me (but I'm not the person
who would have to spend time triaging the feedback thus submitted).
* Not only do I not want "disqus.com" or similar service to be able to
track every documentation page I look at, but those services are almost
always hooked into multiple larger cross-site user tracking/profiling
setups (e.g., Facebook's, Google's, various ad networks). (If one is
from Denmark, which I understand is an extremely nice place, one might
have trouble believing the moral flexibilities of Internet companies
elsewhere.) So, if local documentation page views or searches call out
to the Internet, either there should be an easy and reliable way to opt
out of this (not an opt-out browser cookie), or I will have to write a
PLaneT package that constantly decontaminates a user's local
documentation, and that has a marginally offensive name.
