Frankly it is not unreasonable when the doc you ask about is called the
Gnome User Guide, so I thought you knew what it was.  You need to calm a
bit on thinking I am handing it off, I have been working on it and so
has Sivan, you asked so I was offering.  It is the Gnome-User-Manual,
google it, if you want it you can have it.  Do some research.
