Fine by me, I'm around for any assistance or clarifications.

Yes, it would - but also it would be available from a help button (and
usually a help menu) from within the application. The best way to see
how it works is to look at an existing application. Any Ubuntu desktop
application should have such a manual, but for good examples see the
Ubuntu Software Center, Hardware Drivers, or USB Creator. The manual
can either be part of an existing section in ubuntu-docs (like the
Internet section) or a standalone manual shipped with Ubuntu One
itself.

Great stuff. Provided that the new features are released promptly and
announced here or somewhere else (specs or whatever) then that sounds
like no problem.
