imagining this process to be quite a minimal one not involving a
lot of changes, and therefore time and effort and in particular
administration. However if you would like to be involved,
especially in the audit of existing manuals, input on network /
community protocols or documenting a process of reviving or
creating new manuals please do get in touch with me and I'll add
you to a FM-reboot working email list. <br>
