[Parted-maintainers] Re: parted documentation updates

[Nikolaus Schulz]

Hello,

things stalled here a little bit, sorry for that. And my iBook broke
down :-(( I guess it's the famous LogicBoard issue again...
Fortunately, I was able to extract my data. I intend to get on with the
parted documentation tomorrow.

Oh, wow, that was June '03. I was not even close :-)
Well, even though this is a little bit dated, I still think it's worth
being documented.

That would be nice to know, indeed.

Thanks!  My current plan is to finish on Saturday. It's not clear if my
changes will make it into Sarge, but taking the latest freeze schedule,
I think there's still hope. 
If you have any further additions to the manual, please let me know.
