So do I, the combined manual was just a thought I had. It would be nice
if there was a full set, one manual for each flavour.

That make sense as there is no point re-inventing the wheel

I think there may have been a bit of confusion and over enthusiasm here.
I know it confused me a bit. The various documentation teams seem to
have woken up at the same time and some of us got it bit lost as to what
was/wasn't going on with suggestions of cross collaboration.

I'll (hopefully) be at the meeting on the 8th and hope we can get the 
ball rolling.

Thanks for the offer of help and maybe this will attract some more 
writers, editors, who ever.
