Sorry, I have been sick for some time now so that I couldn't complete the task. 
That's why I won't be able to deliver the task in time. In order to allow other 
contestants do claim it, I reject the task. Benedikt.

I would like to talk more over gtalk. I have completed a draft I think is good but need to share it and since my 
post on the Joomla! forums havent recieved any replies I figured I should wait to talk to you first or something. 
Thoughts?
Comment 22 by Drmmr763, Dec 17, 2007
Just wait for someone to post on the forums. Don't worry, someone will eventually!

Go through and check all the places where you say the word "Joomla!". Check the word
after it, and make sure its only capitalized when it should be. The auto correct
thinks your ending a sentence by using the exclamation point, so you have to go back
manually and fix the words after.

Aside that, I you should add the Joomla! logo, and website address.
Comment 26 by yoniwiz, Dec 24, 2007
alright thanks, will do

wait so you can't see the logo on the main part? or do you just mean add it again with the URL on the back?
Comment 27 by amystephen, Dec 24, 2007
Yoni - I still cannot see those images. It looks exactly like it did in the picture I
posted for you in the forums. Are there pictures for each of the core team members? 
Comment 28 by yoniwiz, Dec 24, 2007
there should of been :-P

there are on this end. I see them. but I am about to finish the OO version so I will post taht and we can see :-)
Comment 29 by Drmmr763, Dec 24, 2007
I can't see any images whatsoever. It must have something to do with the linking of
the files in the document. For some reason, when you save out the document the images
aren't included in the file. I don't know if there is a way to fix this or not.
