Hi Daniel, yes, the latest version is at:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dBwvc6M2fRU7_csK5rh64QscrzrXC4wl2l-gr6uG24o/edit#
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dBwvc6M2fRU7_csK5rh64QscrzrXC4wl2l-gr6uG24o/edit>
I've enabled review access to this document for everyone, and if you can
provide me with a gmail address, I can provide you with full edit access.
I've provided some suggested images (with links to the source) which you
can use. Hopefully the quality is sufficient.
