Yep, all of them. I did look at getting involved a while back. It seemed to me then that doing all the work in LaTeX was a little odd. Don't get me wrong, I like LaTeX. But in this instance I am not sure it is the correct way to go. Installing LaTeX Live and doing all the version control stuff is complicated, especially if you are not a programmer who is familiar with the concept. Why not develop the book as a Wiki? First, anybody with a web browser will be able to read and write content. The content can then easily be munged into a website, Epub or PDF format. This is just a brain fart really. If I had more time, motivation and skill, I would hack together a proof of concept. -- Philip Stubbs -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
