Pete, I agree with the idea of having an online document. My desire is to include a PDF or e-book version, , based on my own work habits, and perhaps reinforced by having to wear bi-focals to read. I do not have dual monitors at home, and reading tomes with bifocals leads to sore neck..

I think that the first group is the reason why we also need to provide an
online version of the document. There doesn't seem to be any disagreement
about that.
The presence (or, more specifically, the current location) of the launcher
seems to be an issue because it doesn't follow the design of the GNOME
desktop.
