[IAEP] [FM Discuss] updating the Sugar manual for 0.84 release

[Anne Gentle]

My apologies. I hear "eight four" and transcribe in my head to eight dot
four, but it is point eight four. Thanks for clarifying.

Thank you Walter for signing up for chapters!

Also, Sean, thank you for the date update. Let's make our goal 3/16 instead
of 3/13. I'm delighted to get three more days.
Thanks,
