Moritz I am changing the outline right now to task oriented. I will submit the
change
to CVS and Markus can set-up automated update of the web document. New items or
themes
can always be added but it would be good to have a good basic structure.
Are you able to use CVS? If yes, you could get the manual after I fix the outline

and you can start updating the first sections. You can also use these first
sections
to test the coordination with the french effort .

Markus I think that we should change the copyright there on GRASS documentation
team
or something like that.
