I noticed a couple of important things that are missing from the docs, by
the way. The first is documentation on using Flatpak as a development
environment. This could mention Builder but should probably have command
line instructions too.

The second thing is a lack of documentation on which runtime app authors
should use (this is maybe something for the runtimes page on the website).
Obvious questions I found myself asking included:

   - Is the GNOME runtime just for GNOME applications?
   - Which versions of which libraries are in each runtime?
   - Since the Freedesktop runtime is described as minimal, does that mean
   it is something that people should use? Or does minimal mean that it's not
   worthwhile? (In other words - which types of apps is it good for?)
