I work best when given a deadline (focuses the mind). I will work with the
28 August date as my deadline. I have already done some changes via the
Wiki. My EMACS/DocBook skills are still very basic, but I hope to be
up-to-speed soon.

Paul, I agree with your approach. We should keep the intended reader in
mind. The English vocabulary should also avoid jargon as much as possible
(my personal defect).

Paul, Cody, Damien, Matt: please review the changes I made so far and let me
know if I'm on the right track. Unless instructed otherwise, I will continue
to concentrate on the DUG.
