Hi All,

    After lurking and eavesdropping on this thread, I seem to gather
that people want a "gentle introduction to Fvwm" type of a document.
While you can't get more concise than the manual if you want to
document everything in a as-small-as-possible space, perhaps the
length is not the question!! I don't know how many users would really
mind reading a document twice as large, _provided_ the effort to
understand is less! Everybody seems to agree that we can do with a
document that'll introduce fvwm in a gentle way!

    Soooo ... how about an Fvwm cookbook? I don't know of any such
project, but perhaps a cookbook can meet the requirements laid down.
It'll give examples of how things are done - how to have gradient in
title bars, how to define titlebar buttons, blah, blah, with
sufficiently detailed examples, pictures, etc. Different sections can
cater to different levels of expertise/familiarity.

    Is there any such existing project? Can the proposed documentation
project go on such lines? Other comments?
