@Oskar, sorry I missed that originally since it was below a quoted section
otherwise would have copied it into the thread already.

@Sam, love it! I can't edit it because it's a pdf but my minor suggestions
would be

* add the url for the wiki since it is possible new joiners won't know
where to find it.
* add "(See rule 17 below)" after "Please don't keep your bike in the space
unless you're working on it."
* change each ampersand to the word and in the introduction (this is a
personal preference: feel free to ignore it)

@everyone especially Akki, Tom, Jonty (since you weren't entirely happy
with original doc), are you happy with Dave going ahead and using Sam's
text without further major edits? (don't want Dave to start working on
something only to have the text revised/rejected)

@Dave, sounds like a great plan! If people are happy with the text, do it!

Perhaps when you have done this you or someone else who knows LaTeX could
add a very brief page to the wiki with a link to the sources for the manual
and recommending any good tools to use for editing/updating LaTeX along
with a link to a reference for the markup. This will make it easier for
others to help maintain it.
