I have recieved Kim's version and have migrated the changes into my main document. I will go through your version too and merge the changes and send out an updated version. There is no doubt that this is a rather bad way of keeping an updated version of the document at all times so it problably would be nice to have some kind of version control system. However, I do not know how to set up something like that and where to do it, so I might need some help with this. If there is being put up something like this, we would problably need some routines about committing and somewhere to discuss changes. I am currently also working on improving the section on gNewSense and Lemote with some general information about the project and company. Thanks for your interest!
