Hehe, problems?, I never have any problems!

Anyway, to give us something to talk about, I just put into cvs a
documentation framework and some preliminary text.

Please have a look at it and tell me what you think (not the text, it's
not finished). I based the source xml doc loosely on the GNOME
application manual template.

I made a doc directory with three subdirs, images, html and xml. The xml
directory contains the source docbook xml files for the html
documentation as well as an xfce.xsl file that I made some month ago,
that changes the default xsl stylesheet a bit, most notably to use a
grey background for tables instead of white (ugly!).

In the html dir are the generated html files. They are not generated
automatically during a build, but you can recrate them by running 'make
html' in the html dir. You will most probably have to edit the xfce.xsl
file to make it point to the correct loaction of the xsl stylesheets
(unless you run Lunar Linux :).

The text will need a lot of work, so if someone would volunteer to write
the docs for me, I would be very grateful. It is an ideal way to
contribute without needing programming skills, while at the same time
learning the ins and outs of XFce 4 :)

Let's get some high quality documents out there!
