Jan Schaumann suggested I run these diffs for the flyer=20
(htdocs/gallery/advocacy/flyer.tex) past the folks on this list. (though
he seemed to think they were OK - I've made one additional small change
since the revision I sent him)

These build on the recent update from James K. Lowden;  I had intended
to do some cleanup, but he beat me to it.  :-)  I made some very minor
wording changes that I thought were appropriate, and fixed a factual
error or two. (SMP-supporting platforms, for instance)  If folks think
they're OK, I'll go ahead and commit them.

One problem that I don't have an easy way to fix - when printed (at least
from the PDF, I haven't had a chance to check the PS version), the fold
for the "front page" is larger than the other two pages (at least in the
"Letter" version.  I haven't checked the A4) - this will make automated
printing & folding hard.  I don't know enough TeX to fix this. (though for
what I'm planning to do, I may need to massage the generated file into
a vendor's template anyway, so it may not matter much)  Any TeX gurus
willing to help?  :-)

Thanks,
+j
