[U-Boot] [U-Boot Web-Documentation misses command nand]

Hi,

why is it, that the documentation in 
http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/Manual
misses the U-Boot "nand" command? For newbies like me the web manual is
one of the first points to start when trying to understand how to 
accomplish a
specific boot task with the help of U-Boot. The sources contain 
documentation
for the "nand" command in "doc/README.nand".
I wished to have had a hint in the Documentation at the very beginning of
http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/Manual and maybe another hint in
section "5.9 U-Boot command line interface", just a reference to the source
documentation "src/doc".

Best regards,

Christoph Petzold

The reason is very simple: nobody added it yet.

Well, as you can see from the URL above, the whole documentation is a
wiki, i. e. a colaboration platform where everybody (including you) can
contribute.  If everybody who notes a wrong or missing piece invests a
little time to fix or add the wrong or missing stuff, then everybody
will be happy.


Best regards,
