I really haven't played with Seahorse yet, and I'm not sure of its use cases and user interactions. If the applets is used for quick access to some of the functionality of the full application, and if they're clearly (to a user) doing the same thing, then I'd say there should just be one manual. I'm not sure it's worth putting in the User Guide at this point. The User Guide is getting really big, and as long as we're using DocBook, I'd rather it focus on very basic functionality. We could perhaps add a section with a brief overview which then links to the Seahorse manual. -- Shaun _______________________________________________ gnome-doc-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-doc-list
