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.

swfdec-gnome does not appear to have any user documentation.
The developers have not contacted the Gnome Documentation Team
about writing documentation.  Furthermore, since swfdec-gnome
isn't hosted in Gnome SVN, it will be difficult for use to help
with the documentation.

(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.)
