Not everyone downloading Rubberduck may venture into the depths of our GitHub repository, or even have Internet access on the computer they installed it on (use case: download setup.exe, copy to USB key, install on no-internet computer).

[ ] Write a user manual
[ ] Package it with the install, in PDF format
[ ] Add shortcut to it in the start menu, under a "Rubberduck VBA" folder
[x] While we're at it, add a shortcut to http://www.rubberduck-vba.com next to it

Depending on what format the wiki source files are in, you could use pandoc to easily translate the wiki to a PDF through LaTeX. I have used it before and might be able to write a script to translate the wiki files to PDF.

Ms-access is the domain of professionals who code not coding professionals so I think a manual is crucial. I would hope that the rest of the community could assist the the manual (including myself), to keep the main team members free for development.
