All, I have (finally) finished my 2nd review of the draft Getting Started with Base chapter of the 6.4 Getting Started Guide. Many apologies for the time this took, but that was mainly due to the number of significant issues that were found in the document when I downloaded it after the 1st review had concluded.
I am recommending that this chapter re-starts its review cycle and Dan Lewis has kindly agreed to do the 1st review of this update. The updated file is in the Drafts folder (with changes tracked).
