Hi Albert,

Thanks for starting work on this.  I've also been working on user help
for Banshee.  This would hopefully replace the user guide on the website
or can be ported fairly easily (I believe) to the web.  It's available
in Banshee's git repo in the docs branch.  You can check it out by
running:

$ git clone git://git.gnome.org/banshee
$ cd banshee
$ git checkout -b docs origin/docs

Then run:

yelp /home/user/yourgitbranchdirectory/help/C

And Yelp will display the new help.

We've planned the topics on the GNOME wiki at
http://live.gnome.org/DocumentationProject/Planning/BansheePlanning and
I've been slowly writing the help pages over the last few weeks and hope
to have a final draft in about 2-3 weeks.

I would love any help!  Plain text accepted and I'm happy to do the
Mallard markup too.  I would be more than happy to work together to
avoid duplication of efforts.

If you have any questions please feel free to drop me an email or you
can find me on GIMPNet IRC in #banshee or #docs.

Paul
