[Piotr Bański]

Dear Dieter and Florian,

Some of this work is underway and, having just come back to the office 
after two weeks of absence, I intend to focus further on this issue this 
week. The "Benutzerhandbuch" will also be used for this, next to some 
other resources that are being remodelled. I will make sure to keep 
Florian in the loop on that.

Dear Florian, thanks a lot for the feedback!

Best regards,

   Piotr
