This is a first draft, so I would be happy to just have the content on CPAN. A pdf would be better for a number of reasons, but we need to get this thing OUT and start getting feedback.
Again, because this is a first draft, I propose creating individual pdfs, then using pdftk to glue them together. We could even add per-chapter headers using pdftk. I can work on writing a script that does all of this over the weekend.
