Update 'improve firewalls section' task to note that it's now a

separate chapter.

Add a new task about the DocBook/slides infrastructure that was
committed this summer, and point interested parties in the work that
needs to be done to make nicer looking updated slides from our
documentation set.

<p><b>Synopsis:</b> Presentations marked up in the DocBook-slides
DTD have recently been added to the documentation set in
<tt>doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/slides</tt>. More advocacy content is
needed, and additional stylesheet work is needed to pull in
content from the release notes and other XML content in our
documentation set to build up-to-date slides with 'make'. A
simple example presentation was committed with some of this
functionality, but there is more work to be done! Also, the
stylesheets for print/PDF output (using the Java based XSLT
processors, PassiveTeX is too limiting for slides) could be
improved as the default DocBook Slides XSL-FO stylesheets
produce very spartan slides.</p>
