Shall I convert the document to Arial then?

It's not quite a click of a button; I'll have to do it for each style used in the document, but it won't take long.

I haven't seen any more comments, so I've uploaded the latest version to the Development Server at http://www.hadrian-way.co.uk/WMT_River_ ... ss_0.3.odt.

This version still has change bars in it so that you can see what I have done. This includes:
  1. 'Arialising' the whole document :D
  2. Accepting most of Hamish's changes unchanged.
  3. Accepting one or two of Hamish's changes with minor editorial updates.
If there are any further comments, please post them here.

Hi Terry,

1) I'm not sure, really. Serif fonts make my eyes tired and I read about 60% slower with them, for some reason. I don't think the industries use serif any more because of dyslexia (if they do they need to stop anyway XD). We can use liberation sans if you don't like Ariel :)

2) That would mean we don't spent time duplicating them, so I'm on board with that. Don't change it just yet though - I'll look at a javadoc like thing for Python so we can have a nicely formatted document, but one that is derived straight from the docstrings.

3) Okay, we should mention that that package needs to be installed then.

4) Alright.

As mentioned here http://wmtprojectsforum.altervista.org/ ... p=785#p785, here are the two flow charts included in the Design document.

I've had to zip them up, because phpBB won't accept files with the .dia extension.
