No worries changing the images. The requirements for images in  
manuals is to use the png format and to have the width no greater  
than 600px. Although I think now, if they are too big they get  
automatically re-sized.

Just add in the options that you want.

The list of contributors should be automatically added, I'll have to  
check up on this

to change thte chapter order go to terminal-1 editing page. Then  
click and drag on the up/down arrows at the left of the chapter  
titles to change chapter order.

You will have to check with Adam at the moment, I don't think the  
HTML export function is fully automated at the moment.
  You could try going to http://objavi.flossmanuals.net/ select  
"booki.flossmanuals.net as the server and then "terminal-1" as the  
manual and then change Document type to "templated_html" and click on  
the OBJAVI button. A link to the HTML manual is created in the objavi  
website.

I'll have to get back to you later on for this last bit, I've run out
