Hi Njal,

thanks for the patch: its substantial and I will be happy to apply it if
you would work on a couple of things. Don't discard the work because it
is excellent, it just needs a couple of things to be amended.

First, could I ask you to use a spellchecker when writing: this will
eliminate any spelling errors when submitting patches. I personally
recommend the program bluefish for editing: it supports docbook and
includes a spellchecker.

Secondly, would you do an "svn up" and reconcile the section you wrote
with the section submitted by Sean Quinn recently: its not your fault
that these sections conflict but since Sean's patch was small I have
committed it.

Lastly, remember that instead of using links like this:

<ulink url="http://www.ubuntuforums.org">Ubuntu Forums.</ulink>

you should use the entities provided in the libs/global.ent file like
so:

<ulink url="&ubuntu-forums;">Ubuntu Forums</ulink>.

When you need a link that isn't in that file, you can refer to it
manually as you have done.

Again, thanks for all the hard work, we appreciate it and we look
forward to applying this patch soon.

Matt
