	We have very extensive documentation on every class, method and  
property in the framework (see http://paul.dabodev.com/doc/api/ 
dabodoc/). But that, IMO, is almost useless when it comes time to  
figure out how to put it all together; 'how-tos' are much more  
important for someone new to Dabo. Think about using sizers: you can  
have all the documentation in the world on the available classes:  
their methods and parameters, etc., but until you understand just how  
these things work together, these wonderful constructs are stumbling  
blocks.

	Don't get me wrong: I would love to be able to tell someone to click  
an entry in Synaptic and have Dabo installed on their machine.  
Several people have mentioned creating the package for us in the  
past, and never followed through (the scourge of open source  
projects!). But is unzipping a tar file and typing 'python setup.py  
install' really that much of a barrier?
