It happens...I've moved into a new position at work and have been pretty

Quite possibly. I'll review the User Guide one more time and try and refine
the tasks more precisely.

I might have worded that task better. The point of this task is for
someone to take
an application, for example, Rhythmbox (as opposed to Exaile, my favorite),
which would be included in the Multimedia section. They can add more detail
concerning Rhythmbox, rather undertaking a revision of the whole Multimedia
section.

By the way, the idea of listing which apps are included by default in the GNOME
and KDE spins of the LiveCD is to make sure no "default" apps are overlooked. A
writer could take a neglected app and include it in the User Guide.

Is that clearer or am I spinning out of control (obscure pun intended)?
