Hello All,

I started working on a set of pages for Gnome Control Panel >> Security
& Privacy. After I wrote up the basic outline, I started asking myself
questions that maybe the groups would have opinions on.

The Security and Privacy GUI provides four basic feature sets:

* Security - Password, Power / Suspend Behavior
* Files & Applications - Recently used file / application history
* Search  - Dash include online search results
* Diagnostics - Error and System information for Canonical

While searching for additional S & P items in .page files, I found two
privacy items which are candidates for <seealso links>:

- Display-Lock
- Session Screen Locks

If anyone knows of others to include please, advise.

The questions I have for the group are:

1). Should the Security & Privacy documentation be limited to the GUI
feature set only, or should we broaden the scope and provide a means to
add additional items as and when appropriate? I think we should add to
this a bit.

2). Should the Display and Session lock features be pulled into Security
and Privacy, or simplly left as seealso links?

The Gnome docs have Auto screen lock in P & S. They have also added
Trash and Temp files to this section, which I think are important as
well.

3). If item #1 is a possibility, should we setup up the documentation in
a group format, security or privacy etc, similar to how files and
network?

Any input much appreciated.
