About GNOME / return / duck related question

[karderio <karderio gmail com>]

Hi everybody :o)

I'm getting back into contributing, after some months just ticking over
very slowly. Hello again ;)

I've just finished reading all the messages that have been stood in my
inbox, I'm happy to see things have been coming along, despite the
resource problems.

I'm considering giving the about-gnome app, the thing that shows the
gnome about dialog, a going over [1]. I would like it to point to an
"about GNOME" section in the help, does such a section exist ? I
couldn't find one.

I found a "feedback" section, that's great, it would be nice to link to
this from the dialog also, I think. Did you add this Joachim ?

A thought has been rattling around my head for a while. Many GNOME app
manuals are in fact contained in the user guide. It's not quite clear
which apps should have their own standalone manual, and which should be
in the user guide. With Mallard, can we not have each app have it's own
manual (thus simplifying calling the docs from the app, and letting the
app be built independently of GNOME), and compose the user guide by
including content from each app, and adding extra info if necessary.
Something along these lines could be nice and modular, making things
much more clear, whereas things currently seem a bit of a mess. Perhaps
this is the plan already ?

Love, Karderio.
