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.
