Well,  it's nice  to start  documenting GNUstep  applications (without
waiting for them to be finished, that would be too late ;-).

For applications  like GWorkspace.app, I  think that it would  be most
useful  to present the  documentation as  a cookbook,  a howto  if you
want, presenting how  to do the various (micro) tasks  one can do with
it.

One of the  problem one can notice with users  of GUI applications, it
that  they often  don't  learn  the most  "advanced"  tricks of  their
applications,  and use  convoluted sequences  of actions  to  do their
tasks.  Reading  a reference manual  and building their  own efficient
sequences  of   actions  seems  too  complicated  or   too  much  time
consuming. A cookbook would be more indicated.
