Re: GNOME User Guide - draft.

[Pat Costello <Patrick Costello Sun COM>]

Hi John, 

Thanks for your comments so far on the User Guide draft. We will do our best to 
implement or answer all of your comments. The best person to answer the points 
you make in your mail is Eugene O'Connor, however Eugene is on vacation until 
next week. I think I know the answers to your points, but rather than getting 
the wires crossed I'd rather wait until Eugene returns and ask him to answer 
you, if that's OK. 

Eugene - can you do the honors please? 

Pat
