Thanks for both of the replies.  I am looking into the user manual now and plan on diving into that.  It will take me some time to make a good manual but this is where I am choosing to start my journey.  This is roughly what I am planning on doing.  I am sure it will evolve as I go.  Feedback is welcome.  I have used several CAD packages over the years so the user manual outline that I am putting into this touches on several of the key features one would like to see in a manual.  I am also getting set up so that I can code on my Linux machine.  I am well past Hello World in several languages but a master of none.  Hoping this hobby will help with that.  See below for my initial outline of what I see to do for a LibreCAD user manual.
