Gnome documentation has several parts wrong

["Marco Presi" <zufus@zufus.org>]

Hi all,

   last days I spent a bit of time trying to configure GNOME.

   I spent time reading GNOME Help and I found it really unuseful.

   Beside this, I found that some parts are outdated: 
   at least the one referring to MIME system seems to be the old
   Gnome-2.6 one. Documentation is _full_ of references to MIME
   preference tool that is not more part of GNOME-2.8.

   Much other stuff is missing. For example I was not able to find
   anything that explains what meaning have the icons that appear beside
   the running applications into the Gnome-Session UI: some application
   have the basket icon, other have the 'help' icon.. what they mean?

   Another example: I was not able to find (in the documentation)
   nothing that explain where nautilus-cd-burner store temp
   files. Nautilus told me that there were not space on the disk. I have
   several partitions.. where I should look to "make free space"? 

   I suppose that the GNOME documentation is taken 'as-is' from the
   GNOME project. I can unserstand that GNOME project people can have
   some interest in not writing a good documentation, but I think that
   for quality issues, the documentation that comes with Debian should
   be more accurate.

   Is there someone that is working on this? In which way may I help?

   Ciao Ciao

   Marco
