Users tend to collect/install lots of desklets. Is it a good idea to
have a manual for each of them clutter your scrollkeeper database?
Maybe have a section GNOME/Desklets just like GNOME/Applets with several
subdivisions. But who would maintain the documentation?
Currently we count about 100 desklets at gdesklets.gnomedesktop.org.

A user's manual for the core application, however, will be a must.
gDesklets will get a user frontend in the future (right now, there's
just the daemon) where a manual should be included. Help/directions
from the GDP team would be highly appreciated.

What we're currently working on is a developer's manual in DocBook
format for desklet makers. Since this will be a manual, it should
reside in the scrollkeeper database as well, shouldn't it?
