Thanks for mentioning my work :)

it's found at:
- english, outdated: http://www.defora.org/projects/dia
- french, last version: http://www.defora.org/projects/rapport (chapter
3)

This school report is more or less finished now, the "final version" is
printed. I'm quite bored with it so I think I'll stop work on it, except
the translation to english of course.

Leonardo I'd like to have your impressions on it, I've written it in
DocBook so it will be easy to add things and then include it to Dia.
