I accidentally posted that one email at top.  All others have been inline.
 So chill.  ;)

Ok, thanks for the info!  I'll review it so as not to annoy you any further.

As I recall, actually, I only followed-up once.  But I could be mistaken;
it was two years ago, after all.

I'm pretty sure the approval was on the open list, though he may have
forgotten to do a reply-all.  I'll have to look through my inbox.  I don't
remember who it was off the top of my head.

I'm not sure.  This was all the way back in 2010.  I remember the UI was
very different though.  But if what you say is true and it was always
Docbook, then the only logical explanation is that I'm remembering
something else.

I have used this account primarily for updates to the Wiki thus far.  I've
also done some comments and handled a few bugs.  In addition, I submitted
an RFC and it passed unanimously, though I'm still (slooowly) getting my
new dev environment setup so I haven't committed the code change to Git yet.

I've been encouraged to start helping maintain the online docs, which seems
like a good idea since there's a definite need for it and it's something I
can help with while I'm getting my dev environment setup.  That's when I
ran into this brick wall.  The sooner it's fixed, the sooner I can start
making myself a little more useful than I have been as of late.

Ok, so should I contact Philip or do you have time to take care of this?
 Thanks!
