Yes, with the GS including the lexicon and other read-once stuff.

I figure the user's guide is something you go back to for "recipes" on
how to do things, whereas at some point you stop going back to a
"getting started".  My intention is to make GS a "read once, start to
finish" and the UG a "read the bits you need as you need them".

Yup.

Why?  I see two parts to this: HOWTOs for common types of changes
(like writing a plug-in), and whatever doxygen spits out (eventually).

> 3) user's reference

This will start out as the action reference we already have, of
course.

> 4) "user's guide" howto's.

We can suck these from the Wiki too.
