Thanks. We'll update the help accordingly.

We already have 21 topics on color management, thanks to Richard.

Is there more information on what all "support for tablets" means?
I suppose the onscreen keyboard is relevant for tablet users, as
well as being an accessibility feature. What else?

Thanks Fred. Sorry if my email came off harsh. I realize we've
shaken things up a bit, and we're still ironing out the kinks.

want to make sure we don't fall back.
