doc for proposed module: mousetweaks



Hello,


As you might know, mousetweaks is a module that has been proposed for integration into GNOME and that provides accessibility enhancements for the mouse.

MouseTweaks currently has a user manual, and it appears to be
reasonably complete.  The fact that it's not in Gnome SVN means
that it will be difficult for the Gnome Documentation Team to
assist with documentation, and that our translators will not
be able to translate the document.

My understanding is that the community wanted the MouseTweaks
settings to be integrated into our Accessibility preferences,
but that this has not happened.  If this were to happen (and,
perhaps, even if not), then MouseTweaks should be documented
in the Accessiblity Guide and/or the User Guide.

As the mouse control will probably look this [1] if the mousetweaks module will be accepted for integration into GNOME, I modified a copy of the config-mouse.xml documenation to adapt it to the potential new mouse control panel of the gnome control center.

You can find the modified config-mouse.xml in bugzilla in the thread with the patches for the mouse control panel. [2]

I suppose that the User Guide will also have to be updated. If I got it right, it is the goscustdesk.xml part of the User Guide that will have to be updated. Should I begin working on it?

Or more generally, what additional documentation about mousetweaks is needed if the mousetweaks module gets integrated into GNOME?

Finally, as this is the first documentation that I am writing for GNOME, it should probably be reviewed by someone with more knowledge about the GNOME documentation.

Have a nice day.

Francesco
