Thanks. Maybe it is more like a serial. What about an ISSN instead? That would allow the content to change more radically over time. I'm thinking specifically of a technical book over a technology that changes a lot from time to time, but not regularly or predictably. New sections are sometimes needed, sometimes just new functions added, and other times functions or small sections are deprecated. /Lars _______________________________________________ Textbook-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/textbook-l
