		<description>Thank you for considering a letter-sized edition, even if it comes later.  I appreciate the templates and look forward to version 2.0.  I would volunteer but have no idea how ot do it.</description>

		<description>Your remark about a fitness template gave pause of thought.  On the fitness front you probably want two  types of template.  One for aerobic exercise and one for anerobic.  

The anerobic needs room for exercise name, weight, repetitions etc. -- this can get even more complicated when you allow for sets where I increase/reduce the weight each time.

The aerobic template might need spaces for exercise type, time, distance.  You probably need multiple lines so that the exercise can be broken down into phases - if I&#039;m doing speed work (10 sets 100 metre sprints, followed 100 metres recovery jog), I would want to record my 100m times. etc.

I&#039;m sure other fitness types will weigh in with more suggestions.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m not an expert but I&#039;ve played one in my mind.

You can get a public domain image of time zones from wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Timezones.png  This comes from the CIA world fact book.  I&#039;m not sure how well it will scale down to the size you need but it is a good start if you have photoshop skills.  I might even be interested in doing that for you, if you need.

One problem with area codes is that they change so often and there&#039;s getting to be so freaking many of them.  The best map I found is by the people who handle the area code system right now, but it&#039;s under copyright.  You still might be able to use it as a basis for an original work.  http://www.nanpa.com/area_code_maps/usmaps/USA_NPA_63_2_100.jpg

Conversions of weights and measures also has an entry in Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_units

All of Wikipedia&#039;s stuff is released under the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_the_GNU_Free_Documentation_License&quot;&gt;GNU Free Documentation License&lt;/a&gt;.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyrights

This would require you to release your planner under the GFDL also.  That may or may not be to your liking.

Can you tell where I spend all of my time?</description>
