Today I started asking Shaun about hacking on Yelp again, with an aim of adding support for reading the Debian doc-base index files.

This is totally excellent news and I hope that Thom finds the time to take this upstream into Sid so we can have it in Sarge. Being able to use Yelp to read all of the documentation I've got installed on my machine is wonderful, and far more enjoyable than using a web browser and searching around /usr/share/doc.
