I like this new one a /lot/ more, mostly because it is dramatically
shorter. However, it still contains a lot of unnecessary verbage
relating to time management and professional advice. I would like to
see much of that chopped, just as indicated in my former post. By
that point the charter would be getting /really/ short, so perhaps it
would be okay to actually /add/ some additional technical content.
