The online book is temporarily locked, but normally when a minor typo is reported, it gets correct right away, so unlikely someone else will later see and report the same typo.
Re: [web2py] Re: Online Book Typo
So can we assume that the typos we see there now, have not been reported?

Without the book app, it's very difficult to see how your edits will look. Not a big deal for minor edits, but difficult for more substantial editing like adding new sections or re-organizing content. Anthony

another :p and it is used internally by the *SQLFORM.gird *and SQLFORM.smartgrid. Should be SQLFORM.grid instead of SQLFORM.gird in http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/06#smart_query-%28experimental%29 On Mon, Nov 7, 2011 at 5:54 PM, Anthony abasta...@gmail.com wrote: FYI, I am not specifically looking for typos, but I am adding a bunch of material to the book and reviewing most of the newer material, so I'm catching a lot of typos and errors as well.

By all means go ahead, but we may be doubling up in effort. May I suggest waiting for a cleaned up Version 3.3 ? I hope it will only contain one or two missed typos that may need many eyes to find.

Massimo, what about putting the book text in a dvcs? (git, hg, etc.) Wouldn't it simplify updates? -- Vinicius Assef.
