Hi Peter Thanks for your swift response :-)
I have completed the account request form as requested. I will continue to read and re-read the how-to pages until I can recite them from memory ;-) Regarding getting a local checkout - as I'm sure you're aware I have already had a fiddle and a poke with build routine from your GitHub clone, but I will need to refresh myself on SVN in the next few days as I've been a git-junkie for some time now. Still, I do already have access to the mechanisms required to validate my contributions before committing anything - and don't worry, the *last* thing I want to do is make the docs worse by committing duff patches.
