Hi :) Don't worry too much about the page count. It's nice to be roughly right but doesn't really need to be absolutely precise.
It's just a rough indication of 'size' and a more useful indication of how much work might be involved in proof-reading (or whichever stage). Mb, Kb etc didn't really help us much. Dates can be similarly rough. It's there just as a useful bit of information for people producing documentation. If 2 versions of a chapter appeared the date value might help us work out which one was best or more recent or whatever. It might help people assess which chapters might be a lot older than others and therefore might need more work to update. Sorry! I've no idea about the important questions you were asking there :( Regards from Tom :) On 11 October 2014 19:44, Dave Barton <d...@tasit.net> wrote: > Jean Weber wrote: > > On Sun, Oct 5, 2014 at 8:59 PM, Dave Barton <d...@tasit.net> wrote: > >> Jean Weber wrote: > >>> On Sun, Oct 5, 2014 at 6:29 PM, Milos Sramek <msrame...@gmail.com> > wrote: > >>>> > >>>> On 2014-10-03 05:58, Jean Weber wrote: > >>>>> Lastly, if whoever was "cleaning" the files of internal xml problems > >>>>> has the time to clean the WG files, that would be great. > >>>> I have done my homework :).
