Hi there,

Thanks to those who have been helping on this - (some great work on the
audio from mark!) The doc is starting to look really good!

I'm posting the latest version in this email to encourage revision and
discussion (there's a chat in the doc too with some good comments in
there. ).

Please feel free to revise the straplines and *keywords [in bold]*, but
please keep them SHORT (this is needed for layout reasons) - 
here's the doc again http://piratepad.net/DYUQT3iDX

thanks again everyone-
Mick
