I just went through the recent emails and updated Simon's list of who
took which section of the manual to edit.  Did I miss someone new?
Ciaran, Richard, which parts are you doing?

If you are new to the list haven't signed up yet, please take a couple
of sections!  General info at http://www.gnu.org/doc/doc-team.html.
