would you mind sending a patch (or modified version) with your wording
for
http://data.pymvpa.org/datasets/haxby2001/README.rst
?

or may be even -- creating your clone of PyMVPA on github, getting it
locally, changing doc/source/datadb/haxby2001.rst, committing, pushing
and submitting 'pull request' so we would simply merge it

Although lengthier process to start but
- you will bare the authorship for this contribution as the committer
- it would streamline any future changes you might like to introduce
  into PyMVPA

We have updated README.rst some time ago but somehow update was
overriden... I have reuploaded updated version with the note on 9th run
of subj5
