Hm. And I was just going to suggest that we could reduce the distribution size
by a few hundred K by only including the tutorial. I guess you could include
the translations, too. (Is it almost friday yet?)
Someone (?) ought to take Richard's letter and turn it into an example, which
could be referenced, e.g., in UG or Extended (in some cases, e.g. if there's a
lot of ERT and you just have to drop in the picture's file name, an example
could be better than an extended description. I believe some people (Mike) had
suggested doing similar things for, e.g., the two-column thing, which takes up
a lot of room in Extended) .
I had tried to fix up the original letter template, but I don't remember how
far along in the process I (and JMarc) had gotten. Unfortunately, I seem to be
in the middle of several things, which means I haven't finished any of them.
Well, but we'll definitely have some great stuff for 1.0.1 :)
