The name 'Developer's guide' seems a little superfluous considering the audience ;)
I have no preference where it goes. I was just hoping that it wouldn't get removed before I had a chance to read through it carefully. In the short term, it would be nice to have it in the proposed 5th section. Philip -----Original Message----- From: Andrew C.

Do you think that might be more appropriate there? Or perhaps just a fifth section called "Building and all the dirty little details"?
