We believe that the "new" essay material has superceeded the old
essay.  We're not certain, though, and I'm not certain how much of
the old stuff I've removed.  I deliberately didn't delete the
files, but I forget whether essay.tely still includes them.

I have a vague recollection that I was supposed to invite comments
once the next devel release went online, but I can't remember if
that was supposed to be 2.13.9 or 2.13.10.

Also, the "new" essay material hasn't really been put into a
structure yet.


It's definitely not ready for translators.  But I'm pretty certain
that when the time comes, translating from scratch will be the way
to go.
