Yes I added the Feedback appendix to the User Guide, though it was actually material from an existing separate document I copied across (and updated a bit) -- bug 335968. OTOH, an 'About Gnome' section in the User Guide would be a good thing. I would suggest we ask the marketing team to come up with something for it, except that it might end up being me anyway ;) How about we wait for the marketing team to write the 'About Gnome' section of the new website and then copy bits of that?

I agree, it's confusing for us and for users. I considered moving more applets into the User Guide, but it's such a monster already, and doesn't seem worth the effort. > With Mallard, can we not have > each app have it's own > manual (thus simplifying calling the docs from the > app, and letting the > app be built independently of GNOME), and compose > the user guide by > including content from each app, and adding extra > info if necessary. > Something along these lines could be nice and > modular, making things > much more clear, whereas things currently seem a bit > of a mess. Perhaps > this is the plan already ? That's probably the plan. Or it should be. The reverse also true: I'd like things like 'Opening a file' and 'Using the clipboard' to be written in the user guide, and then appear as topics in application manuals.
