Yes: 46  No:  0.  I'll take that as a yes...

How we proceed:

1- Committee is formed of the following people:
        Thomas Trenka, Paulo Mouat, Jean Piche, Mathieu Bezkorowajny
        Alexandre Burton, John Fitch and Tomy Hudson. I'll immodestly 
	appoint myself as chairman of committee.

2- Committee is open to any member of the list who wishes to join and
contribute thoughts, work and expertise. Email me.

3- Mandate of the committee:
	Explore technologies that permit:
		Central document control,
		Automatic generation of variants.
	Formulate and implement DTD (Document Type Definition) for 				Csound
manual.
	Formulate and distribute protocol for manual updates.
	Code current manual pursuant to the DTD.
	Generate variants.
	Distribute variants through ftp site.


4- Committee will attempt to support variants in the following formats:
HTML, ASCII and RTF. However, at this time, no formal engagements are
taken to support all or any of these variants.

5- Committee will report to this mailing list as work progresses but its
discussions will be kept off the list.

6- To make lives easier, public communications to and from the committee
should be posted to the list with the subject prefixed by [MANUAL}.
	
7- This project is supported by the community of Csound users at large
and is strictly volunteer-based. No guarantees whatsoever are offered as
to its date of completion.


Thanks!
