[ Dekstop Help ] First Contributions - Lesson Learned

[Doug Smythies]

Some work has been done on some of the references
given.

I make no claim that they are now great and wonderful.
I only make the claim that they are much less wrong than
before.

Please review and continue to make changes.

Has been re-worked, basically now pointing to the current task list
