Hi :) This is amazing. Since you sent out the call-to-arms it's suddenly moving very swiftly. Only 4 chapters left and at least 1 of those is being worked on, possibly 2. Good work! Regards from Tom :) On 23 September 2014 22:11, Jean Weber jeanwe...@gmail.com wrote: I tweaked a few items,

Hi :) My impression is that there is an ideal way; 1. write, edit and make additions 2. review for technical accuracy 3. proof-read for grammar and maybe de-geekifying a bit more but that steps 2 and 3 can sometimes be switched around in the interests of expediency. When Jean, Hazel, Peter
