It is indeed letter, see the draft I send earlier. Karl will finish the draft with the comments given here and then I'll keep pushing to get the source from him so we can adjust and translate it... We do need a a4 version for the rest of the world. Karl might or might not have time to do that, if he doesn't we'll have to do it ourselves. We put the source online, anyone can print it. I'll pay for printing in (at least that's my plan now) the USA, Brazil and India. EU still has plenty of the old brochurs so we'll hold of printing there.
