We have assembled the combined document in [https://cvs.hep.ucl.ac.uk/trac/LesHouchesMC09 this repository]. If you would like direct access to this repository, please see the instructions on the link. If you prefer to work independently, that's fine, just use the templates properly and mail your contributions to the conveners.
