Definitely second this

Again, definitely second this

Just to repeat myself...

To have the same material in many places will just cause a lot of
problems. On the other hand, having reviews of F-Spot, or links to F-Spot
in many places would be very nice.

Another thing I have been thinking of, is to create a Concept Guide (and
perhaps a Help manual). If you are unsure what I am talking about, please
check GnuCash concept guide. Here is the link to the CVS version.
http://cvs.gnucash.org/docs/guide/
This is created in DocBook format, and is easily converted to Gnome help
format, can be read by Yelp, can be converted to PDF as well as to TXT
format. But, perhaps best to wait a bit until F-Spot gets a bit closer to
1.0? Then again, we should be able to come up with wich chapters we should
have, and fill in general things, and possible more detailed information
as well. The bad thing though, the more detailed the information is, the
more often you will have to change since F-Spot is still under heavy
development...

My small 0.02 cents...
