docs: Draft of Quick Add page complete. Updated status of index.
I've completed an initial, working draft of the
cal-event-quick-add.page document. It should be serviceable for
the 0.2 release, but I've marked it as 'review' for now. I'd
like for others to take a look at it.
Also updated the status of the index page.

- <title>Add an Event to Your Calendar</title>
+ <title>Use the Quick Add Feature to Add Events</title>
<p>One of the best features of <app>California</app> is how it allows you to
add events to your calendar using everyday language. In <app>California</app>
this is called the <em>Quick Add</em> feature.</p>
+
+ <p>The best way to see how the <em>Quick Add</em> feature works is to look at
+ a few examples.</p>
+
+ <section id="quick-add-event">
+ <title>Create Both One-Time and Recurring Events</title>
- <p>To add an event using the <em>Quick Add</em> feature, you need to supply
- three pieces of information:</p>
- <list>
- <item><p><em>What</em> the event is.</p></item>
- <item><p>The <em>day</em> the event will occur.</p></item>
- <item><p>The <em>time</em> the event will start.</p></item>
- </list>
+ <p>We can use the <em>Quick Add</em> feature to add events that occur only
+ one time and events that occur more than once:</p>
- <p>Let's look at a few examples:</p>
+ <steps>
+ <item><p>Start by Pressing the <gui>Plus</gui> button in the upper-right
+ portion of <app>California's</app> <gui>menu bar</gui>, or by pressing
+ <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>N</key></keyseq>.</p>
+ <p>The <em>Quick Add</em> window will appear.</p></item>
+
+ <item><p>Enter the details of your event. You can describe the event using
+ natural language:</p>
+ <list ui:expanded="false">
+ <title>Examples of one-time events</title>
+ <item><p><em>Meet James at the movies on Saturday at 11:00am.</em></p>
+ </item>
+ <item><p><em>Go to Jeff and Mindy's wedding. October 26th at 4:00pm</em>
+ </p></item>
+ <item><p><em>Meet Petr, Jana and Florian at Al Capone's Pizza on Saturday
+ at 7:00pm</em></p></item>
+ </list>
+
+ <list ui:expanded="false">
+ <title>Examples of recurring events</title>
+ <item><p><em>Take out the trash every Tuesday at 7:30am</em></p></item>
+ <item><p><em>Swimming class every Tuesday and Thursday at 6:00pm</em></p>
+ </item>
+ <item><p><em>Mom's birthday every year on April 16th</em></p></item>
+ </list>
+ </item>
+
+ <item><p>After you have entered your event details, press
+ <gui>Create</gui>. <app>California</app> will use the information that you
+ have entered to create the event on your calendar.</p></item>
+ </steps>
+ <note style="tip"><p>By default, the <em>Quick Add</em> feature will create
+ events that last for one hour. You may wish to adjust the duration of your
+ events. See the <link href="cal-event-edit">Edit an Existing Event</link>
+ page for more information about editing events.</p></note>
