[Gambas-user] ...And what is planned for Gambas 3.7

[Randall Morgan]

I would allow the user to chose during installation if basic help files and
basic example files were to be downloaded locally. But let the user know
that there are more available online. That way those like myself who often
travel to where there is no internet can decide what they need to take with
them.

The correct questions however are... What will it cost, and how long will
it take?
