I'm in the process of merging the competition entries into the user guide, and 
I'm looking at the best way to fit your entry into the existing outline. I 
think the discussion of the NET WM spec is a little too technical for the 
user guide, so I'd leave it out or put it in an advanced section, and I might 
change the placing of the kstart and ksystraycmd sections.

The way I'd like to proceed is as follows: I'll merge your content in  the way 
I've outlined above, and send you a copy of the result to check. If you're 
happy with that ordering, we can leave it like that. If not, we can discuss 
it and hopefully iterate towards the best possible solution :-). You will, of 
course, get full credit for all of your content.

How does that sound to you?

Ah, yes. Lauri pointed that out to me recently. I'll have to take a look at it 
sometime. Would you like to write an introduction to using it for the doc 
primer (http://i18n.kde.org/doc/doc-primer)? It would only need to be very 
basic, outlining setting it up and the simplest uses.

Regards,
Philip
