If Gary has been unable to tell which attachment is the latest

from the issue... and it's hard to tell who is working on what,
and what stage a particular chapter has reached.
Gee with all the dates and times, I would have thought selection pretty
easy. I guess not. :-(
No, it's not easy. There are far too many notes and items to wade
through, even working backwards through the list. It's too easy
to miss a critical note when scanning through such a long list,
and end up with a file that is earlier than the latest. One can
find what one needs in that issue, and determine which date is
which, and all of that, but it is definitely *not* easy, at least
for someone who is not intimately familiar with the book, as you are.
Docs really needs a better system for tracking things. [...]
One possibility I can think of is to use a section of the
Documentation wiki for tracking. Of course that depends on people
actually putting info into the wiki in a timely manner.
A wiki solution would be nice.
I'm heading off for 3 weeks of travel outside the Internet zone,
so I can't help here. I know you and Scott are very busy, but I
recall some keen wiki people on this list, so maybe someone else
could set something up?
