For an internals book, this would mean: I doubt that's going to happen no matter what edicts are handed out, nor would enforcing stagnation in the name of documentation likely be a very good idea. I also tend to get far more requests for "beginner's books" from all the publishers I mentioned than for any "internals" books, as nice as that might be to have. In fact, I've yet to have a single publisher express interest in anything with much technical depth - they want "FreeBSD for ISPs" or "doing eCommerce with FreeBSD" or something suitably buzzwordy. As one publisher put it, "we want a Complete FreeBSD of our own to sell", and TCF isn't exactly an internals book by any stretch. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
