[Bf-docboard] New UI Documentation

[William Reynish]

Thankyou for the instructions. I downloaded to source and XML Editor.  
My only concern is that I'll probably be doing lots of screenshots -  
how should I submit them? Email? I can also upload files on the web on  
my website where I have lots of space.

Doing screenshots, I will aim to match the current ones, but with the  
new layout. But I'll wait before the UI project has been finalised and  
submitted to BF-Blender before I start taking them. I expect us to be  
finished some time during march.
