[FM Discuss] 5 days to go! Wordpress Book Jog - please help!

[mick fuzz]

It's 5 days to go for the Book Jog. It would be great if more people could
get involved in these last stages to help polish up what is already there
and fill the existing gaps.

We are doing pretty well at 120 odd pages so far.

If you log in and go here - http://booki.flossmanuals.net/wordpress/_edit/
Then you'll see an intro chapter "Read this if you are here for the Book
Jog" which has more info on where we are up to.

nice one
