Suggestions for the MatPlotLib documentation

I uploaded a version of the documentation to MatplotlibAsHtmlHelp I made some changes and tried to explain why on the projects Wiki. Again thank you for all the help…

In your wiki, you stated that you replaced the Introduction section with a “Orgins of Matplotlib” section instead. However, I am completely unaware of a section named that way. Can you be more specific?

The "Orgins of Matplotlib" section in Gary's CHM file contains the following paragraph from the "Introduction" page at <http://matplotlib.org/dev/users/intro.html&gt;:

"""
When I went searching for a Python plotting package, I had several requirements:

     Plots should look great - publication quality. One important requirement for me is that the text looks good (antialiased, etc.)
     Postscript output for inclusion with TeX documents
     Embeddable in a graphical user interface for application development
     Code should be easy enough that I can understand it and extend it
     Making plots should be easy

Finding no package that suited me just right, I did what any self-respecting Python programmer would do: rolled up my sleeves and dived in.

Ah, thank you. For a second there, I thought there was some orphaned page that I have never found that would have rendered my current research project moot.
