You can get screencaps by using PrtSc on your keyboard, or Alt+PrtSc to
get just a single (current) running application window.  The GConf
key /apps/gnome-screenshot/include_border (a boolean) will allow you to
choose whether you want window decoration in the latter case.

I vehemently disagree.  The whole point of the existing Docs space on
the wiki, and the CVS repository for the FDP, is to gather these
materials.  Putting them elsewhere causes unnecessary process
fragmentation and a drain on already scarce resources.  We are trying to
bring more people *into* the FDP, so the best way to do that is to
encourage them to use our existing resources here.  Licensing and
maintaining overall project standards is also a concern.

We have a really big tent here, with plenty of ice-cold lemonade, water,
cookies, and BBQ for all.  Let's try to make use of what we have first!
