I've just tagged doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook,
doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/share, and doc/share with the ISBN number of the
upcoming second edition handbook so it can be reproduced by interested
parties at a later date. This will also help as we merge over the
WRS-specific material. About 90% of the work that Chern, Val, and I
have been doing is already in the CVS tree. The other 10% falls into
two categories. The first category is just stuff that is very
specific to our print-specific needs and we haven't had time to clean
it up in a general fashion. This includes :
* adding footnotes
* making ulinks look better
* making tables look better
* making whitespace changes that affect the print output
* more two-sided output hacks
* title-page hacks
The next category includes the cover artwork, illustrations,
preface, extra appendices, diagrams, and other polishing that is part
of the "value-add" for the WRS print edition. Most of this material
will also be given back to the community once the book is back from
the printer and available on store shelves.
I'll send more information next week about the publication schedule.
We've of course listed as many contributors as we could identify in
the "Contributing Authors" appendix and Nik and I singled a few out
for specific mention in the preface for showing considerable
dedication. We'll be sending out many free copies to contributors as
soon as the book is printed. I think this is definitely something we
can all be proud of!
Thanks,
- Murray
