[Chapter-delegates] Collaborative 'Chapter Handbook' Project - Step 1 - Draft outline

[Anne Lord]

hi Tony,

Thanks for your feedback - much appreciated.  I think your comments  
relating to the Sphere project are very good and I will look to see  
where and how I can give the project more prominence as you suggest.  
Re the naming suggestion, i will take that to discuss in the 'sphere- 
labels' group, who are looking at exactly these issues.

Thanks again, and
best wishes

Anne
