Thanks Dean for taking the time to respond. This "grep -r status=\"help\" *"
works great. Once we start work on Feisty+1, I hope I remember this!!

I understand what you mean by seamless but what I'm suggesting is may
something subtle like a small watermark in the upper righthand corner
(brought to you by the great folks at Ubuntu) or a slight change in the
background color to maybe #FFF1D1 instead of #FFFFFF. This would provide a
small level of branding and help define responsibility. As in all the users
shouting, "Who's responsible for cool documentation! Oh, look it must be the
great ubuntu-doc team." We don't necessarily want to be taking credit for
all of gnome's documentation.

I'm happy and see the distributed help only getting better.
