[Bf-docboard] New UI Documentation

[William Reynish]

Hi, My name is William Reynish. I am a part of the UI team that is  
nearing completion of a total redesign of Blenders buttons windows. We  
are doing this for several reasons:

1, to make Blender more approachable for new users and to make it  
easier to get to grips with

2, to make Blender more efficient and speedy for experienced users.

3, to improve overall consistency

Matt Ebb (Broken), Jason Saunders (Blendergetic), and me, William  
Reynish, are now laying final hands on the project which has lasted  
since summer 2004. We have analysed and gone through every panel and  
context in Blender and have done a lot of work to improve the UI in  
order to make Blender much more pleasurable to use. We even set up our  
own wiki website:  
http://wiki.blender.org/bin/view.pl/Blenderdev/ 
ButtonsInformationArchitecture.

One of the main 'problems' with doing this though, is the  
documentation. We do realise that it will require that all screenshots  
are retaken and that all the documentation text is looked through, to  
check if buttons have moved panel and/or name. Since I know well what  
we have changed, I am willing to help add all the new screenshots and  
edit the documentation text.

Perhaps if you share info on how to change the doc, I could edit it  
myself and submit it.

Thanks,

-William
