Public editable grub2 theming manual

I have decided to fork Colin D. Bennett's unmaintained manual on creating themes for Grub2's gfxmenu module. it is available to view and edit via Google Docs here. I highly recommend merging this into the Grub2 manual. I have also added a link on the Wiki FrontPage. "GRUB 2 gfxmenu Theming Manual: A manual on GRUB 2's graphical menu (gfxmenu) and themes. Initially a fork from Colin D. Bennett's currently unmaintained manual here. "

Colin's manual was merged into the GRUB Texinfo documentation some time
ago (under "Theme file format").  Rather than forking it yet again,
could you please send patches against docs/grub.texi for improvements
you feel should be made?

Thanks,

Could anyone point me to the correct way to implement a theme correctly. 
The links here go into great detail about creating a theme but I can 
find nothing about the syntax to use it. Maybe a section could be added 
to that documentation?
Thanks,
