Hi Peter, I agree with Bobby and also feel it is important to get done. I have had a relatively detailed look at it so far and already given it some thought. I also agree with Peter that we should 'be bold" and fill it in/make corrections to it in the mean time. I plan to tackle it as well (in the near future but not right now) but like any good wiki it requires group input.
Regards, Douglas.
