Nice work! I am sure this will be helpful.

Sounds like a good idea. I don't think I am the right person to ask for
suggestions though (I am new), but perhaps someone else has some
suggestions.

By the way, I also just noticed that
https://live.gnome.org/DocumentationProject/Tasks/ has some links
recommended ("Is there anything I should read first"). It might make
more sense to put these links in
https://live.gnome.org/DocumentationProject/Contributing
and then refer back to this page so everything newcomers need to study
can be found in one place. Just a suggestion. What do you think?

Thank you in advance,

Bastian
