If there is no symbol at www.gedasymbols.org I would suggest making a
new one, maybe with tragesym.

Please note, you do not need a spreadsheet program, a plain editor works
fine.

Well, old documents may be fine.
But people may think: Documentation is from 2004, so there seems not
much progress in the last 6 years. At least this is not very good

We may include DJ's fine, more recent tutorial in the list:

Maybe we should have something like "Getting Started" at gpleda.org,
with a few links to the most basic beginners documentation?
