Sure, we could start from the PDF instead of checking Word in to the repo (just typing that makes me wince). Thanks for the offer of help! I'd be willing to make a list of the doc sections, with the ones I've already done checked off. Volunteers could claim sections there and check them off as they're done. Is there a good place to make a collaborative checklist like this? Something like Google Docs, but more Apache-ish? Jessica T. CloudStack Tech Pubs
