I think just having them at then end of the single developer's guide 
works fine.  Especially when you consider that they will be separate 
documents anyway (separate authors, separate cvs logs, etc.).

It's already organized that way. See the first paragraph of the 
"editorial notes:"

I have a feeling you may have missed the attachment. See the post I just 
made for the latest one (in much detail).

Yes, this is a big can of worms.  I'm actually afraid the Apache license 
is too restrictive for our purposes.  I want to make sure that both 
original authors and later contributors have the right the use their 
work -- even in part -- in other contexts. But I also want to make sure 
that someone else can't plagiarize it, so just making it public domain 
wouldn't work either.  I haven't done enough research yet though.
