[open-data-manual] Comments on the ODM

[Dinu Gherman]

Hi,

I'm new here, writing this while on a party... so please pardon
me for being brief... Rufus asked me to forward the text below
that I've sent to him and Tim after fixing some typos and stuff 
in the ODM. So here I go. More later...

Regards,

Dinu
