[helen varley jamieson]

(i know this isn't strictly to do with floss manuals, & not at all to do 
with civicrm, but we do have the UpStage user manual on FM; & it's also 
so's you know why i haven't been responding much to emails lately. 
whether you're doing the thunderbird sprint or reviewing chapters of the 
civicrm manual, i hope you'll take a moment to check out some of the 
shows - they are all only 20 minutes long so perfect for a coffee break :))
