It is good to hear that we are going to get an update of 12.04. The 
dates are fine with me. If every author/editor reads his or her 
chapter(s), see [1], and make the necessary changes we will surely have 
done the job by the end of August. If there are still questions on how 
to upload to the Precise branch, please let us know.
