Thanks for the offers. I am not sure how busy you are, but I propose we 
put a copy on the wiki and work on the rewording/corrections there -- we 
can use the "Discuss" section for our notes/questions. We may need notes 
if we are going to suggest the modification to the BoD. Every section 
needs to be referenced back to the DE version.

How does that sound?

Cheers,

Marc
