Hi all, I had a go at converting the first chapter * See https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Category:HelloXenProjectBook <https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Category:HelloXenProjectBook> (and https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Book/HelloXenProject/Instructions_for_Conversion <https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Book/HelloXenProject/Instructions_for_Conversion>) * And https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Book/HelloXenProject/0-Contents <https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Book/HelloXenProject/0-Contents>
All relevant information for people to help out is there.
