[kepler-users] The most impressive thing you've done with Kepler

[kirsten menger]

Hi Ketan,
 
I've been working on the Kepler documentation and just wanted to add (a little belatedly) that I would welcome comments for improving it. If you come across docs in the nightly build that are ambiguous or problematic, please let me know.
 
Thank you,kirsten
