Bonsoir Michel, Gilles et Dimitri
Pour moi c'est Ok pour le  10 décembre à 14h (heure de Paris)
Je continue à préparer les éléments (tableau croisé
Chapitres/Manuels/Tutoriels) et relecture des chapitres (ça c'est le plus
long.)
Bon courage à tous ceux qui œuvrent pour la distribution de la pré-release
Bien cordialement
Jean-Pierre
