That was a bit of an overstatement. Re-reading it, I realise it could be taken to imply that others had not made equally valuable contributions, or had not made many. I did not mean that, and I apologise if it sounded that way to anyone. Many excellent ideas have come from others, esp. (but not exclusively) on the German side, and I'm sure I'm not even aware of what all those good ideas are. And of course nothing would have been accomplished were it not for all the great volunteers who have contributed so much time and energy into writing the books. Good ideas are necessary, but not sufficient, in this or any other endeavour. So I'd like to thank everybody at OOoAuthors for all their work, be it a little or a lot. You are all valuable, and I appreciate you all. I also appreciate the trust you have put in me as one of the editors and publishers of the chapters you have written. Have a safe and joyous holiday season. Cheers, Jean
