Adam's got a big BookSprint going on now, but we'll sort that out soon. I'll
also see if another admin at FM can help. I was embarrassed when I went to
someone's house this week to help her with her XO and saw the big ol' G1G1
she had printed. :)

I don't think it's hidden from remix (or Objavi) but the book editing itself
is admin-only access to prevent confusion when others edit. The source files
are all the chapters in the Sugar and XO books. Every single chapter has
INCLUDE code pointing to one of the chapters from either the XO or Sugar
manual. It works quite well! But yeah we're trading off clarity and support
ease with what might appear to be black magic. :)

Oh, shoot! I'm glad you pointed this out - I logged these two and one
additional where the title page for the PDF is now saying Inkscape, ha ha.
Logged with attachments showing what you found. Thanks!

Yeah we still have additional support we need for the Help Activity 1. CSS
updates (though looking at the ticket it does seem to be mostly resolved
within the parameters given) and 2. git/code access.

Thanks again for coming back again - it's very useful to have quality checks
on our docs. I can tell you take pride in this - we don't always see this
level of dedication in the corp. world. :)
