GNUstep User Interface

Hi all,

This a very early release of a new guide I am trying to write.
The idea is to document the GNUstep UI elements in such a way that the
guide can be used as a user reference to completing tasks. Alexander
Malmberg was kind enough to give me a list of (almost) all elements
within GNUstep to work on.

I wrote a little piece to illustrate how I want to set things up and how
I want to go forward. All is however open for debate :)
The initial thingy can be found at
http://documents.made-it.com/GNUstep/UI/GUI.html

What I would like to ask is what do you all think of this approach and
it's usefulness. And another thing I would like input on is which
elements of the GNUstep UI can be described best with which useful
tasks.
Thinking about normal users I can only come up with two real things a
user wants to do:
1) Working with applications
2) Manipulating files
I guess this sums up what people do with computers :)
To incorporate all UI elements in just these two chapters might be
difficult to do.

I have made the assumption that an average GNUstep desktop will consist
of:
- GWorkspace.app
- Preferences.app
- HelpViewer.app
- and some editor
This is the basic system I would like to work from.

But as I said before, all is open for debate.

Happy Stepping,

Dennis Leeuw
