Fixing documentation



Hey guys,
	I hope you're all having a good weekend.  On Thursday, I found out that a lot of the 1.2.0 documentation in GNOME had problems due to stylesheet packaging (please correct me if my diagnosis is wrong).  Yesterday, 1.2.1 was released.  A lot of those documents were fixed, but we're trying to make sure they're fixed.  Here is a list of applications from the doctable that we need checked over.  Select a group and let me know about problems with the docs.  I will keep a Gnumeric table with the applications and what is wrong with them.  You will be able to download the Gnumeric spreadsheet starting tonight or tomorrow (06.03 06.04respectivly)

Well kids, there you have it.  This what you look for:
There is an about menu item
There is help accessible through preferences
There is help accessible through the help menu
The formatting on all the text is correct (no empty bullets, etc)
All figures are present and look okay in GHB"

You just need to basically run through the documentation kinda quickly.  No need to search in depth, just skim through.
	If you have programs that don't have documentation, check the doctable.  If it doesn't have a maintainer, then if you'd like, write docs for it :)  We're trying to complete some of the missing holes in the doctable.  I myself have taken to writing Gnibbles while working on Evolution documentation.  If you have any questions, you can drop me an e-mail.
	BTW, if there is documentation for an application, and the doctable says that it's lacking maintainership, then lets try to figure out whose maintainer and fix that.
	If you are on GNOME 1.2.0, please upgrade to GNOME 1.2.1 before searching documentation.  helix-update has everything you'll need.
Take it easy
Kevin
