+ <p>The &os; Documentation Project Primer had not changed at the
+ same rate as the documents themselves. Some sections were
+ outdated, others were wordy and confusing, while information on
+ new changes to the documentation were not described at all. In
+ July, Warren gave the entire FDP Primer a fairly intense edit
+ for simplicity and clarity. Chapters and sections were moved
+ into a more logical order, and information was updated to be a
+ better guide to the current state. Markup examples were added
+ and revised. Style guidelines were also extended and updated.
+ The Primer is now far more consistent and usable. As always,
+ there is still room for improvement, and additions or
+ corrections are encouraged.</p>
