Ok,  I joked, but also, I am willing to participate in a project where
we  put together an English PDF manual. But I cannot do it alone. This
is what I suggest:

- first we simply import the CHM into Help&Manual (I tried it, works,
some formatting does not come over). Advantage of HM is that we can
create PDF very easily, etc. Ok, so at this point we have a PDF v0.

- some people go over it and decide which parts to change, what extra
parts to write

- those people decide who corrects/writes those parts

- everybody does his job by the deadline the people agree

-  the  editor/dictator  :)  goes  over  the  parts and make the final
corrections.  If  the issue is a serious one, he discusses it with the
author. Final word is always the editor's.

- we make a PDF then that is released. This is when people who are not
actively included in the project can make suggestions, that could be
included in PDF manual v2.

So,  who  are willing to put some time into it? I estimate like ca. 40
hrs/person  or  little  more.  Project  would  take  until  the end of
January,  so  it  can  be  spread  over two months, no reason to hurry
during December.

I  am  willing  to do the HM editing, suggesting a structure, make the
PDF  v0. I can supply the editor with HM. I wont be editor. However, I
strongly  suggest  to  have  ONE  editor.  Democracy  in  this kind of
projects never work.
