man, thats busy! PhD and a baby...all you need now is move house and
change jobs...

It seems to be pretty close to NvU. A slightly cleaner interface
perhaps, or is that my newly upgraded debian icons? Its hard to tell
sometimes.

I also think this is the case. How would you feel if I helped out in
this too? I'd actually like to add more screenshots in general if taht
works for you. I'm a bit of a screenshot fetishist, it keeps me happy
and busy.

sounds perfect.

All you need to do is create a FM account:
http://en.flossmanuals.net/register

as I don't think you have one yet? 

I created a Kompozer manual, copying all the Kompozer files and
replacing any instance of 'NvU' with 'Kompozer':
http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/Kompozer

You can change this as much as you like with no fear of disturbing the
current NvU manual.

For pointers on using FM you might want to check out the manual on FM:
http://en.flossmanuals.net/FLOSSManuals

I am always around, or not too far away if you want to skype
(esetqualia) about it or irc chat etc
