swarm 1.3 documentation status

[Rick Riolo]

What is the status of efforts to produce more
user and introductory docs for swarm?   in particular,
a manual on how to do scheduling, especially more complex,
dynamic scheduling, would be most useful.  
its not easy to figure out what can and cannot be done,
and what are the best (better) ways to use the various
activity library classes.

A couple of minor points:

In the printed version (ps) of the reference manual,
it would be nice if the chapters and appendices and other
major sections started on odd-pages (so "chapters" start
on the first side of double-sided output).

Also, I noticed that in many sections the section
header from seems to carry over and get printed on
the first few pages of the following section.
Eg, see the section header on pages 98-102, which
is "Collections" even though those pages cover the
introductory material for the Activity library.
In all cases I noticed, the introductory material
for a chapter has the wrong header, the the doc and imple
status pages have no header, then the actual 
pages describing classes, etc, have the right header.
