Re: keyboard bell

[Alexander Kirillov <kirillov math sunysb edu>]

This shows again that we need to make a working index for our docs -
yesterday. Dan: you mentioned that there are some professional
indexers who are willing to help - probably it is time to start. At
the very least we need index for Panel, control-center, and nautilus
(when it is ready). For now, I'd be satisfied to have it as a static
doc, rather than extracted by Nautilus on the fly.  Sure, it is poor
solution, but better this than nothing. And we should have a common
index for all of these docs - fortunately we can crosslink to other
docs now.
