[ZDP] Project ZBook

[kamon.ayeva@bureauveritas.com]

Hi,

After yesterday's discussion, I tried to re-complile the ZCL (focusing on
ZBook) to have a high level layout.
But I don't want to add too much detailed content. What do you think ? Thus
people will feel free to come and propose their chapters.
In my view, as soon as a draft is reviewed/accepted, ZCL is updated to
reflect the new chapters. (Maybe this is obvious and I am just jumping
around. If so, excuse me.)
If you all agree, I promise to connect on the new site tomorrow, and upload
this new version of ZCL.

btw, where is Dody this week ?

Cheers,
Kamon
