<body class='hmmessage'>Hi Ketan,<BR>
<BR>
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.<BR>
<BR>
Thank you,<BR>kirsten<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>
