editors: Thread: Re: BLinux Software Map]

Hi all,

The above document is ready for language review, so it can be added to
the collection.

The files can't be attached when sending to this mailing list, so if
anyone is interested, please reply, and I'll be glad to forward it to
you.

If you want to review but need assistance, I'll be here!  Please email
the list and let us know if anyone is available to help with this one.

Much thanks,
Tab

I can take a look at it.

Saqib attached an XML file to his original post to the list.
I don't have the sgml/xml tools installed (yet) so if someone could send 
me an html file I could get started more quickly.

Electronically yours,
Mark
