Please do correct any British spelling that has managed to slip through the earlier reviews. The first edition of the Writer Guide has been published, so the next set of chapters to be done are those in the Draw Guide. The first step for that is the rebranding. Barbara has been doing an admirable job with the first pass of rebranding, but I don't know if she plans to work on the Draw Guide; haven't heard from her in awhile. I'll compile a summary of what needs to be done, if no one responds to my recent note asking if anyone's already done such a summary. I'm looking forward to having all the books rebranded and a first edition published, so we can start improving them (as well as updating to LibreOffice 3.4, due out very soon).
