Excellent!

This will be a great boon for the understanding of what DHIS is for. Like
the source code, this will never be "completed", but we already have
critical mass. There are still "button descriptions" to be added, and I
guess there is nothing yet for the patient module and community systems (am
I mistaken in this?), Jason has really gotten things moving. The next stage
would hopefully also involve more "strategic" considerations (such as how to
choose dimensions, datasets etc, how to relate to existing paper forms, and
even more overall considerations such as those covered by the HMN framework
and enterprise architecture).

Maybe we should add in parenthesis that the PDF is 6.2 MB, so it could make
sense for many to right-click on the link and download it rather than just
open it in the browser, which will take some time on a slow connection. The
HTML is of course also big with all the images, in the future we may want to
investigate breaking it down by chapters, but this is not a priority.

And as Jason has said earlier, we can probably also get quite far with
relatively decent machine translations - though I suppose all the images
need to be remade for each language...I suppose we could do with English
language screenshots as a first approximation (ideally one would have both
the GUI and database languages in the same language as the manual, such work
is probably best undertaken by a local team, in connection with polishing
the machine translation).
