Do you have an "old" version you could provide?

As Frank is on holiday for the next two weeks....

Than I'll start to implement a first version!

The work on the manual should be done afterwards.

(But if I do not start immideatelly after conference more and more

In the meantime I'll send a message to devel-list and ask there.
