Peter,

yes - we do want to include the Mallard-based documentation in this 
release.  To be clear, we also plan to update the existing Shotwell user 
guide (http://trac.yorba.org/wiki/UsingShotwell0.6) for this and future 
releases - it will not go away.  The user guide will be linear (you can 
read it like a book) and comprehensive.  The Mallard-based documentation 
will be topical and task-oriented, and may not include every little 
detail about everything Shotwell can do.  I think these two 
documentation resources will complement each other well.

Robert's Mallard documentation is a good start, but there's more work to 
be done as Jim described in his comments on our Mallard ticket at 
http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1143 .  That ticket is currently assigned 
to David Velazquez.  David, are you planning to complete the Mallard 
documentation following Jim's suggestions?  Or Peter, do you want to 
work on that?  We're hoping to ship Shotwell 0.7 by the end of next 
week, so we could use some help here soon.
