@nwillis  As example out-dated doc, but which 'should' be ported and
updated, there are the Python and native scripting description docs.  (
http://fontforge.org/python.html  http://fontforge.org/scripting.html)

In investigating just a few bugs therein (python.c) I've seen over a dozen
'new' APIs which are not documented!  And have no idea about APIs which
have changed. For instance, font.save() now has a second integer argument
for SFD file versioning contributed by @monkeyiq.

Echoing at least one other person, I think the scripting feature is a
killer app feature.  But yet certainly a lower priority doc than "how to
generate font files" usage info.

Can we establish any sort of ranking / priority / desirability for sections
and pages?

(I know I'd rather fix code that fix prose, but the prose gets people into
using the program...)
