:-) Perhaps that's true.. (for now at least or as the Governator would
like to say.. I'll be Back!)

Yep.. Just a bunch of misfits who wants to spread the word and give back
to the Community.

I tried SVN, didn't work. The Diffs were too messy even with a little
change.

Right now, I will send out the finished copy in PDF and ask the team to
proof read it and give me the areas which needs changing. (but also in
PDF is a problem cos there's no simple way for them to describe the
location for the change.. eg: Pg 2, para 4, left side, change XXX to
YYY). 

In the end, all the work comes back to me like a boomberang. :-)
