I think it would be a worthwhile project. I'd be willing to answer
questions offline to keep the list from getting too noisy. I think the
website could use a little flash and pizazz, this could be our
contribution. If they want to put it on the CDs too, more power to
them. I know when I was documenting another program a couple
of years ago, that adding screen shots lent an air of professional
credibility that simply wasn't there before.

Pictures should be converted to png or gif for screen shots and jpg
for photos.

Also, since you are a new user, the questions that come up will point
us to weaknesses in our documentation.
