I made the changes on the Google Docs.

Yes, screenshots need to be improved (Words, Choqok are not up to date for
example). I think we will ask for the contribution of the artists team to
make them more appealing once the layout is done.

Yes, I think that the only solution since we can't made the changes on the
InDesign file... Felix you should make sure that you've got all the changes
in the booklet. You can use the revision history and the comparison between
versions to visualize all changes that have been made recently by Agata,
Jenny and me.

Sorry for the "late" answer, I tried this time not to say "I will do it" but
rather do it and tell you "it's done"...
So, I also rewrote some texts to integrate feedback from Agata and Jenny. As
usual, some review is needed on these parts (my changes are highligthed in
orange).

Cheers,
Damien
