Sorry about the delay in responding to this. Here is my opinion. I hope Clayton will comment on this too, or anyone else with an interest. In a case like this, having the only copy in ODT seems reasonable to me. Even though I would like to publish a PDF copy of the updated book, if the material does not go well in that form (or in wiki form) without a lot of extra work, then I think you should do what works best and easiest for you. We'd be happy to have the book (in ODT) made available through OOoAuthors at any stage in its development and publication. Or we could just link to its location on your website from the OOo Documentation wiki (similar to the links from the wiki to other external sites). I think that might be best, but Clayton may have a different idea and I'm sure I haven't thought of all the pros and cons. --Jean --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
