Yes, that informations need to be in some sort of doc.

Great. Freevo needs people like you. Programmers are bad at explaining
things, they don't see problems users have. And they don't like it all
:-)

Sure. Since I'm not a native English speaker and write some stuff very
fast, there are lots of errors in it. So every patch is welcome. We
also need better docs. I'm still dreaming of 4 docs:
o Installation/Configuration:
- How to install freevo and the deps (links to docs for the deps is
ok).
- Links to how to configure hardware
- how to activate/configure plugins
- freevo_config.py and local_conf.py doc
o Usage
- What keys does freevo know? How to use them?
o Advanced usage/configation:
- how to create a skin?
- about fxd files (imdb, playlists, slideshows). Some of this is
only inside the code right now
o Plugin writing
This is something the developers need to write because we know the
code. But even here, every help is welcome.
There is a start in the docs dir. Right now, we use docbook
sgml. Maybe switch to xml. The wiki and the mailing list archive have
great informations, they only need to be transformed into a nice doc.
