Looks like there may be some confusion here for me; I sent all drafts
to ####@####.#### (this was just before the new domain name).
They were posted to "in progress"; I thought that was part of the
process, and waited for review.

The process, as I understood it, was for it to be reviewed after
submission for any suggested "tune-up", and then IIRC it would be
returned with the suggestions, I would apply the fixes and re-submit.
While waiting for review, I put the original in linuxdoc, then fixed
some stuff I felt could be expressed more clearly, and sent to
####@####.#### each time, and Greg Ferguson replied each time
acknowleging receipt and posted it to "in progress". It was not
completely clear to me from there to getting it released (the info on
that sounded a little complicated, I remember reading something about
docbook, and CVS; I've fallen a bit by the wayside since then). But, as
far as I'm concerned, it's a complete document now (other than if it
needs anything suggested by a reviewer). So, what do I need to do now
to move the process along?

Thanks, John
