Hi Erinn,

As far as what's this help is concerned, if the developer of the application 
is happy, we're happy.  You're of course welcome to post things here for 
review too.

The Handbook depends greatly on how familiar with DocBook you are.  If you are 
not experienced, it's probably best if you post patches to review here to 
start with, and updates in plain text (with clear instructions what to 
replace where) are fine too, we can deal with the markup for you.  

Regards,
