Cool, I'll get started proofreading and trying out the examples.

There's been some traffic about the status and location of the PDL Book, so this is an attempt to summarise what's been going on: The PDL Book is in a git repository, which you can currently look at with your browser at: http://pdl.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=pdl/pdl-book;a=tree The top level of the repository contains the file 00README.pod, which gives more details on how to get a local copy, and how to get write access and contribute to the Book. Please read this through to get a good idea of what's going on: http://pdl.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=pdl/pdl-book;a=blob;f=00README.pod ...and the list of chapters and ordered section is in PDL/Book.pod: http://pdl.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=pdl/pdl-book;a=blob;f=PDL/Book.pod Thanks to the efforts of several people on the Perldl list, we have a relatively complete set of PODs and figures that make up a functional book! The PDF version of the book is running to 159 pages with the included figures. I'm not sure where I should put a live copy for others to read... Chris, suggestions? TODO list: Import/write sections on TriD, Complex numbers, Threading, Transform, Pthreads, Proj. Do we want a chapter on Proj? Proofread the chapters and check that the examples work, and fixing many links in the docs. Work out directory structure that is suitable for PDL distribution and for others to contribute. My goal is to start reading the chapters and cleaning them up into a consistent flowing book. If we stopped additions *right now*, we then have a minimally useful book. The rest is making sure that the demonstration files are easily accessible for interested users. Thoughts? Matt
