From e4448dac9331adfddaa08074c35ba072bb6afcef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Scott Rifenbark Date: Mon, 1 Aug 2011 16:18:23 -0700 Subject: documentation/dev-manual/dev-manual-newbie.xml: updated intro paragraph and figs I updated the introduction paragraph to cast the chapter more for YP than just generic newbie information. Also, added three screenshots for the source areas at Dave Stewart's suggestion.
