General Issues

@@ The following:

  • Most sections can be enhanced and more information is available
    • See Resources
    • and follow links to documents etc. in the text.
  • Heading levels: make them such that one can make a book by traversing the case study and adding pages without having to adjust them in the resulting book.
  • Figures: remove numbering as many images will be added in the WikiEducator version and the numbering will nolonger correspond to the image order ... (alternatively, someone will need to maintain continuity).
  • Cross-referencing: of sections and appendices ('above', 'below', etc.) (hyperlink them, especially when they span web pages)
  • Photos, diagrams, ... there is room for more.
