The blender Package

[Sofus Rose]

Hello,

All right, so it seems like my task is to lean how everything works with
those three documents (a bit of light reading... :) ), along with picking
apart the git repository. I'll get back to you in a few days, once I get a
better grip on things!

Thanks for the assistance,
Sofus Rose

PS. His name is Kristoffer Rose. I think he only recently became active
again.
