What is a user guide? Maybe some docs putted and linked together in a form
which is more friendly with screenshots and tips?
I think there is a huge power at Docs and L10n project and the material is
really good. So, for start we can try to put together all the stuff and
reconfigure it (screenshots, tips) in a more "user friendly" way.
If we have good written, user friendly docs in many languages we don't have
to do something from scratch.

Small touches, small entries and the guide will be ready on a sec! :)
