We haven't really set a new deadline for an initial draft of our
chapters. Arianne, Laurent, James, David: how about December 14? Elena,
would you perhaps be able to expand on your notes by then?

I had to tweak the standard stylesheets a little, and meant to look
further into this. Tweaking shouldn't be necessary I think. I'll look
into it tonight.

The '50 pages' was intended as a very rough estimate. But let's think of
a decently formatted document, not an HTML printout.
