That ol' embarassing thing? Yeah, it's still around. I can send it to
whomever but I'll also upload it to the ifarchive as well.
The reason it disappeared is that I gave up my domain
(genuinetesting.com).

So I'm not entirely sure where to put this on the IFArchive, to be
honest. It doesn't really seem to go anywhere that people would
logically look to find something like it. I already sent it to someone
who asked and I'm happy to do so for anyone else.
As a note, as I explained to someone else, the document needs some
work and I do know that. So I'm going to update it again. The main
thing I'm waiting on is the next release of Inform 7, just in case
some things changed significantly enough. I also want to cover more of
the Room Description Control and the various other extensions that
affect locale display.
Finally, the next document that's going to follow is going to be
documenting the conversation extensions that exist beyond what's
already in the extensions themselves. I essentially want to place them
in a context and relative to some specific techniques.

Please upload it and let David and Stephen figure it out. :) We
already have a programming/inform6/manuals directory, so
programming/inform7/manuals is the obvious choice.
The Archive is a defense against just such events as "Oh, I decided to
drop that domain", and you may not be on RAIF next time it happens for
people to ask. People may not think to look in that specific directory
for it, but other sites can link to it, and it's a lot better to have
it filed obscurely than not available at all.

Hey there! I was the one back on intfiction who brought up the subject
in the first place. I would be very grateful to be able to have a look
at the document, with or without alterations.

It sounds great, to be honest, though I worry if by asking the
question I've inadvertently piled work on your shoulders.
Best,
