[FM Discuss] brief update

[Joshua Facemyer]

Adam,

The only question I have is whether we'll be able to arrange the manual 
from that page as well like we had talked about.

Otherwise, it looks great!

(One other possibility is there might be a function added to show what 
"version" of the manual is published along with the date.)

Thanks.

JF
