Bazaar Developer Guide (Proposed)

[Eugene Wee]

Hi,

I am actually working on a guide for novice users. Part of my motivation 
is that my fellow university students are blissfully unaware of the 
benefits of a version control system when they code. (The other part is 
that I am at the end of a technical writing module, and I figured that 
practice makes perfect :P )

Like you, my experience as a user is still pretty fresh. My aim is to 
make it more of a training manual that guides from scratch, with the 
possibility of converting it into a CHM file for Windows users. Would 
you be open to this possibility? I am not too sure how to retrofitit for 
the wiki and at the same time keep updates for a CHM file.

Regards,
Eugene Wee
