Thank you for CCing me, Eli, although I'm pretty sure I'm far from an
expert.

I think the manual lacks more information about how to do more
"advanced" stuff. It's not hard, but I feel like some ideas about
what one can do with widgets only pop up after reading the code. Which
of course is really useful, but the manual could do a better job so it
isn't as required as of now.
That would fall in the category of adding tutorial-style sections, I
think. I'd love to help with that, but I don't have much time available
to do it on my own.
