I don't get it really. You want the "quick guide" to be sorted by task
and the "users guide" be sorted by application? IIRC we wanted the
"quick guide" to be a short overview of which programs do what. And the
"users guide" was meant to be a more complete guide how to do certain
tasks like browsing the web or writing emails for complete newbies.

We seem to get a lot of confusion again... let's just not turn around
things wildly. I could but imagine a way to include one in the other.
But it won't help to speed up things if we change the focus. Then nobody
will start to write anything.

Not meaning to offend you, Corey. But it took weeks until we figured out
what to do. Perhaps you can elaborate why you think the switch would
make sense.
