a month ago, I made a plea for documentation. few answered. I figured
that you all simply needed a push, so here it is:

http://www.freeciv.org/~kauf/client.html

is a first draft of the new client manual. I've taken the liberty of
putting in the new screenshots. The mission if you choose to accept it,
is to go through it, and where you see something that looks like:

<paragraph here: some subject>

you should write something and send it me and Cc the list. (so there's
no duplication of effort) The more people that respond, the faster it 
gets done. I've placed the paragraphs in bite-sized morsels, so each 
mini-project is not too big, so don't be afraid of jumping in 
(except for the CMA section, perhaps Christian or someone could lift 
the major portions from README.CMA?)

Each paragraph should be in plain text, don't bother with html. Just
tell me which file, and what <paragraph: ...> you're contributing.

also:

client-4.html: a lot of the text in the old manual is still applicable.
               Someone needs to review to see if it checks out.

client-5.html, client-6.html: I did nothing with these. Please review
               them. Someone who knows more about GTK, may want to
               improvise a GTK rc section.

If I can ever get a hold of Brandon Rhodes, he'll take over the
compilation effort. Until then, send stuff my way.

Again: a lot of the people on this list are not coders. This is your
chance to make a good contribution to freeciv.
