Dear Simon,


I would be happy to work with you and anyone else interested in
writing a manual/tutorial for GNU Chess.  I can give you style sheets
and advice in the design phase which should make the writing phase
much simpler.

As to Texinfo, I want to make sure it is not an obstacle to the
manual's creation. Initially, the first draft can be in plain text and
then I can find someone else to typeset it.  Once the Texinfo
structure is set up, an author only needs to add occasional small
commands in the new writing that are quite easy for anyone who knows
HTML to learn.


Best Regards,


-Opus
