I think getting the book just the way we want
it will take more time than we want to wait for
the PDL-2.4.10 release. I propose that we
focus only on the content between now and the
release of PDL-2.4.10 and release a draft PDF
version of the book at that time.
Absolutely agreed - index and TOC are things that can be done after
the 2.4.10 release, but I think that almost all of the material is
there for a draft version.
It would be good to have the graphics_3d text in a final form and then
I'd say we stop for content right there and then focus on two things:
To make the book comprehensible, we could
definitely use a few things:
(1) chapters begin on a new page
(2) chapters start with Chapter ### stuff
(3) chapters have a running header with chapter title
As is, when I start reading the book, I
hit a weird transition and I lose
comprehension---we would like to avoid
that for new PDL readers.
This is where creating per-chapter PDFs
for this go-around and then we could
paste them together with acrobat or
something for the release.
Other ideas welcome.

(i) figures and proofreading
(ii) getting the relative links correct.
A PDF version of this is definitely possible for next week!
