Well, I dont qualify on the "intimate bit" :-) In fact my AO-40 gear is
still incomplete :-(

However, having haranged Stacey in the past on the need for a AO-40 PR
person, I'm prepared to have a go at it if people feel that it'd be useful.

I've attached a preliminary list of headings - feedback would be
appreciated. I hope I'm not trading on anyones' toes here, if they're
already working on this.
