Absolutely, couldn't agree more....this definitely should have been in
the list ;)

I would kiss the person who would come up with an online doc for all
this stuff. I looked at gnome-docu/gdp/gdp-example2 a little and the doc
stuff still has an element of 'voodoo' in it.

I like Eric's point though...we *really* need to start writing
whitepapers on this stuff and getting it on the
web...somewhere...anywhere...
