I love this app, but there are a number of things that aren't explained in the FAQs. It would be great to have a Help file or, at least, some more FAQ. I'd be glad to take a stab at writing them if you wish. Just let me know what format you want them in, and I'll try to accommodate you.

Workrave could really use some documentation. We would really appreciate it if you (or someone else) could write some documentation for Workrave (It's unlikely that we will do it, it's not our field of expertise) I would prefer a format that can be read online, as well as offline on window, linux and Mac (e.g. pdf); but once we have the text, we can always convert it to another format later.

For me, writing all of the documentation is too daunting a task to pick up. If I were to contribute only a fragment, there is the issue of how to integrate it with fragments contributed by others, and do final editing. If there were a workrave wiki or something, I'd be happy to write some text every now and then. Maybe not even a wiki. Any kind of infrastructure enabling me (us) to write documentation would be fine, really. It's just that sending patches on documentation to you via e-mail is a bit cumbersome ;-)

I installed workrave but have no idea how to control it. I don't know how to set the length of breaks -- either mini-breaks or 5 minute breaks I am supposed to take periodically. This is very frustrating. How can you release a program with no instructions at all? Thanks for taking care of this.
