Dear Dr. Zhenhua Yao,

Your contribution is great ! As mentioned in the FAQ,
ABINIT is an open source project that favors development 
and collaboration at any levels. 
( http://www.abinit.org/ABINIT/Infos/FAQ.html#contribute )

I believe that the PDF should be useful for 
not a few "Abinitioners," and also that it would be fine 
to provide similar LaTeX/PDF files (if any).
We would be fortunate, if you could complete this manual 
and could kindly tell us the way to creat/maintain it. 
Some suggestions might be suggested for (possible) 
easier maintenance.

Good continuation, with my best regards,
Masayoshi Mikami
