+;;    ---------------- For your .emacs or .gnus file ----------------
+;;
+;; As of version 2.5, grouplens now works as a minor mode of 
+;; gnus-summary-mode.  To get make that work you just need a couple of
+;; hooks.
+;; (setq gnus-use-grouplens t)
+;; (setq grouplens-pseudonym "")
+;; (setq grouplens-bbb-host "grouplens.cs.umn.edu")
+;;
+;; (setq gnus-summary-default-score 0)

+;;                              USING GROUPLENS
+;; How do I Rate an article??
+;;   Before you type n to go to the next article, hit a number from 1-5
+;;   Type r in the summary buffer and you will be prompted.
+;;   Note that when you're in grouplens-minor-mode 'r' maskes the
+;;   usual reply binding for 'r'
+;;
+;; What if, Gasp, I find a bug???
+;; Please type M-x gnus-gl-submit-bug-report.  This will set up a
+;; mail buffer with the  state of variables and buffers that will help
+;; me debug the problem.  A short description up front would help too!
+;; 
+;; How do I display the prediction for an aritcle:
+;;  If you set the gnus-summary-line-format as shown above, the score
+;;  (prediction) will be shown automatically.
+;;
+;; 
+;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
+;; Programmer  Notes 
+;; 10/9/95
+;; gnus-scores-articles contains the articles
+;; When scoring is done, the call tree looks something like:
+;; gnus-possibly-score-headers
+;;  ==> gnus-score-headers
+;;      ==> gnus-score-load-file
+;;          ==> get-all-mids  (from the eval form)
+;;
+;; it would be nice to have one that gets called after all the other
+;; headers have been scored.
+;; we may want a variable gnus-grouplens-scale-factor
+;; and gnus-grouplens-offset  this would probably be either -3 or 0
+;; to make the scores centered around zero or not.
+;; Notes 10/12/95
+;; According to Lars, Norse god of gnus, the simple way to insert a
+;; call to an external function is to have a function added to the
+;; variable gnus-score-find-files-function  This new function
+;; gnus-grouplens-score-alist will return a core alist that
+;; has (("message-id" ("<message-id-xxxx>" score) ("<message-id-xxxy>" score))
+;; This seems like it would be pretty inefficient, though workable.
