In the grand tradition of these things, I'd like to place a chapter in the doc repo. The question is, which chapter? I have a couple of ideas, but am interested in ideas from others. Following please find a table of contents, with a few notes on what each chapter contains if necessary. I'd appreciate any comments from others, specifically on which chapter might best serve to patch existing holes in our doc repo. ==ml 1 Introduction 2 Installation -- put the disk in.
