This is an analysis of the documentation, made on behalf of the
Gnome Documentation Team.  It does not necessarily reflect my
personal opinion of the module or its suitability for inclusion
in Gnome.  In many cases, I have not made extension use of the
applications or libraries provided.  Further insufficiencies in
the documentation may become more apparent with more use.

Gimmie currently has no user documentation, and the Gimmie
developers have not contacted the Gnome Documentation Team.

(Reminder: proposing an undocumented module is not a problem.
Hackers are often not good writers, and we don't expect that
people bring fully documented programs to our doorstep.  But
if you need documentation help, you need to contact us early.)

It is unclear to me exactly how we should proceed with Gimmie
documentation.  At the moment, it seems best for it to provide
its own user manual.  The sentiment among Gimmie fans, though,
seems to be that this should, in time, be a central part of
how we use our desktops.  If we go in that direction, then it
would be preferable to document Gimmie in the User Guide, at
least partially.
