Questions?
As the book is IIUC publicly available would it be possible to set up a GIT repository with the content and everyone could mark or change the pages by e.g. special latex commands and sent you a respective patch?
This way it would be easier to see what is already reviewed and does not need to change, and there might be even the small chance that people could include the requesting change, instead of only putting a marker where the change should happen.
The work you have to do should hopefully stays the same, as it would be with emails you get?
i'm not aware that LKD3 is publicly available -- i know LDD3 is. and in any event, as someone who has edited/pre-pub reviewed *many* technical books, i can assure you that authors don't want updates recorded that way, they much prefer bullet points labelled with page and paragraph number so *they* can decide how that content should be rewritten. i/we are not trying to rewrite the book -- all i'm trying to do is keep track of what needs updating so that, if there *is* an LKD4, the author has a concise list of changes. the goal here is to make life easy for the author, not so much for the rest of us. anyway, i just need to finish up a couple things and i can start adding in some updates people have already sent me. rday p.s. i know i mentioned this earlier, but in addition to simple updates: http://www.crashcourse.ca/wiki/index.php/Updates_to_LKD3 feel free to suggest improvements to explanations, entirely new features/subsystems that should be addressed, and so on. whatever occurs to you, and i'll try to get it onto that page somewhere. note that section 5 on that page is the chapter by chapter listing, so section 5.1 corresponds to chapter 1, and so on. -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
