I was refering to contributing to the Ubuntu Manual project, which to me
sounds like a distro specific documentation.

Yes, that would be my thoughts.
Priority 1: Mallard based help system for Shotwell, which would reside on
the local computer of the user. Fits in very nicely with the rest of GNOME
help texts and various documentation.

If there is a need for it, a Guide a la GnuCash would also be nice to have.
That one helped a lot of GnuCash users...

Just a thought here that Shotwell is still in early days of development,
so we should bear that in mind when the various documentation is produced.
That means that there is bound to be a number of changes in a short
time...
