The idea of the book is that it has some general overview sections at 
the beginning and then, depending on your interest, you have a set of 
sections that are applicable to you that you should read. The hope is 
that these later sections can be more focussed and relevant that trying 
to cover everything for everybody which I think the previous document 
suffered from. Also, we are trying to emphasise the goals and uses of MO 
rather than the technology, so putting the horse back in front of the 
cart.....

So, please, any comments you have on anything, but ideally other 
stakeholders and the sections they would want. If you could send those 
to me by Monday the 24th of April that would be brilliant.

We hope to release a first draft of the document in time for us to 
discuss in San Antonio. It will not be complete and will most likely 
only cover a few sections but should give us an idea of direction and style.

Thanks,
Sam.
