In the Year 2011
This documentation was written in Europe and Asia, mostly in English, in offices and cafes and vehicles on air, land and sea. Software used ranged from Microsoft Word and Windows XP to Windows 7 running on a wide variety of equipment, mostly 64-bit AMD and Intel processor desktop machines with a smattering of 64-bit notebooks. No native English speakers have participated or have been harmed in this effort, nor has a single line of Manifold code been written outside of Europe or Asia.
… as always, from the terrace of Le Café Beau-Rivage, Lausanne, Switzerland, and now as well from the upper floor of an elegant tower in Wanchai, Hong Kong.
