Thanks so much for getting as-users fixed, jeff. That's really
helpful. While it was down not only could I not join, but a lot of the
google hits I got had page not found errors, which was really
frustrating.

Do I submit changes by producing docbook snippets and posting them
here? Sorry if that's a stupid question but I haven't worked on a
project like this before so it's all new to me.

Are you most interested in changes to the visualselect4html stuff or
in general? I think I found the visualselect stuff pretty helpful.
What really caught me was when I wanted to start making changes and I
couldn't figure out what various options did (either because they
hadn't been added yet or because I didn't have enough background
knowledge to fully understand the explanation), or where I made a
change but there was some interacting thing I also needed to change
but I didn't know what it was.

Nope, I'll deal with you. :) Wikis tend to be my last port of call,
so on the assumption that there are other people like me, I shall deal
with you and try and produce stuff which will be integrated into the
main docs.
I'm super-busy until the end of March [1] so for now I'll probably
just collect my own observations on things I found unclear, and I'll
start actually submitting stuff after that.
Thanks for the help!
