Hi Daniel. Bear in mind I'm very new here, so I don't know everything :) If you are ok with using CVS and working with XML documents, you can check-out the user guide, in the gnome-user-docs module, under the gnome2-user-guide directory. The GDP handbook, http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gdp/handbook.html, explains how to get started with CVS. There's more info here too: http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gdp/resources.html Otherwise, you can look at the wiki: http://live.gnome.org/DocumentationProject/UserGuide If you add content there I can convert it to XML and add it to what I'm working on. I am currently working on gosbasic.xml, the 'Basic Skills' section. After that I want to look at the 'Sessions'. The 'Desktop Overview' section (gosoverview.xml) is tagged as needing work, so you may want to work on that. My focus so far is on cleaning up the existing text for clarity and accuracy. I'm leaving the structure as it is for now, though on the wiki I have simplified the section headings, eg 'Working With Panels' -> 'Panels'. I'm finding there's a lot of convoluted language, and occasional assumptions about what the user knows. My attitude is that the user guide, especially something called 'basic skills', should be understandable by my grandmother :) Another thing that will need to be looked at is screenshots. I think I saw somewhere that the GNOME default theme is Clearlooks or Human now. The User guide should reflect that, but this is less important that good clear text.
