And that place one place are the sources, where development is done. There
is no need to keep the documentation in a different place than the source.
I do most of my work on Ethereal on trains or in hotel rooms - both cases
where I normally do not have internet access.
I'd also be happy if I could continue reading the documentation with 'vim',
which is also the editor I'm using to edit the source.

I agree that the documentation is in too many places, but I think that
the source is and remains the best place for it.

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
