Hi Peter, I do most of the documents as of late, but any developer with Ubuntu 6.06 loaded can and does edit the docs.
I might caution you that the latest docs are always on the EMC web site and I work on them almost every day... The pdf's on your computer AFAIK only get updated with each release. If you spot something just send it to the list with the subject of "Documents" or similar and we should catch it. Please use the manual name, chapter, section when pointing out anything. When I edit the docs in lyx there is no page numbers and each chapter in most cases is a separate file. Even the pdf on my computer will have different page numbers due to the editing...

In what section do you think this is needed? Perhaps in the Configuration Chapter in the Config Files section of the Integrators Manual? or in the Stepper Configurations/Modifying section of the Getting Started Guide? > - A very humble suggestion: it should be possible to arrange the > .pdf's > pages so that when printing the manuals the odd page numbers are at > right, > the even ones at the left and the page numbers appear in the upper > (or > lower) outside corner like in ordinary book printing. It looks like the page numbering is some random mix... we use lyx to create the docs as well as some custom things to create the html's. I took a quick look and didn't find a way to specifiy where the page numbers should be... I'll look into it a bit more to see what I can find.
