For stuff on links, look towards the end of
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gdp/handbook/gdp-handbook/ar01s04.html
Alternatively, just write something like "!!!! LINK TO
SECTION ON FOO" or a comment and I can take care of
it.

I'll do a full check when I apply your patches.

You can hit CTRL-R in yelp to reload. (It's a hidden
feature because it can be a bit buggy.)
I've also created a launcher on my desktop that opens
yelp with the CVS version of the user guide.

I have to thank Shaun, Brent, and Don for helping me
get started and answering all my newbie questions :)
