I sincerely feel that the tutorial should also be included in a single
documentation file consisting of UG, extended etc. the reason for this is
that you can then cross-link from the tutorial to the parts of the UG
explaining a feature in depth. also, you can search the entire document for
whatever and find it both in the tutorial context (with links to the UG
context) and the UG context.

Finally, I dont see why the tutorial should _not_ be included.

I think the end of the splash.lyx intro screen could be
reworded a bit to devote some attention to the Wiki.

6. The LyX home page is at [http://www.lyx.org/]. Get
information about LyX, subscribe to the LyX mailing
list(s), take the LyX Graphical Tour, and more.

I think this could be changed to:

6. The LyX home page is at [http://www.lyx.org/]. Get
information about LyX, subscribe to the LyX mailing
list(s) and take the LyX Graphical Tour. Additional
documentation is available at the LyX Wiki
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Manuals. [or maybe better
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Documentation]

I think documentation should point to the FAQ and
the Latex Visual FAQ. Also a reminder to use the
online archives to obtain quick answers to urgent
problems without a hint of irritation about answering
the same quesion over and over again. Links to archives.

The home of how to do things and solve problems.
Unfortunately I won't be able to contribute to the
documentation project as I like to explain myself
fully and in detail. The puny Wiki can't accomodate
the size of my masterpieces. Just kidding :-)

The developers would have to approve a change of
copy to the splash.lyx intro. Consolidation of the
help documents could be offered in another format
in another location while advertising the Wiki.

Perspicuity and Perspicacity, how sublimely pragmatic,
Stephen :-)the oxymoron, how's that for credentials?!

Ps, A little extra juice for the Wiki, hip, hip,
