hey

during the sprint Jan Gerber updated the project to work with ff 4 and
then we wrote to Chris Hofmann from Mozilla to see if there is anyone
that can pick up the project and continue with it. i hope this happens
but no word yet.

If you feel the chapter on firegpg needs a statement highlighting the
issues you raise please feel free to add it...:) if you do this then let
me know and i will update the version on www.flossmanuals.net
