Yes, no problem, only the format is easier I think for Italo and me (old 
school you know ;-) to work on, but the final thing have to go on the 
wiki where the collaborative work is to be done.

Ok great, thanks!

Just one thing I think is important to keep in mind and I wanted to 
share with all of us: keep it simple.

Users coming to open source are quiet shy, they need to be reassure by 
very simple words and usage, even if it means not showing the killer 
apps we are very proud of, just something that talk easily to them and 
do not put them in a posture where they could feel impressed or lost is 
very important. Few words, great pictures, simple path :-)

Kind regards
Sophie
