ALL! :^) Seriously Chapter 12 needs the least right now, as it's still
considered in progress. I'd also like suggestions on things that
should be done. A brief list of what I think needs doing is in
TODO.txt linked from the main page. I know links between chapters need
addressing. I'm sure I haven't gotten all the labels and things right,
which isn't a terribly bad thing, but a frustrating one to find. I'm
not a professional editor.[0]

Of course not! :^) Yeah, typos are what I mainly need and any glaring
deficiency in Chapters 6 and 18 (X I'm no good with and I've never
played with tagfiles much).

s/to/too/
Maybe I don't need you checking for typos. :^)

[0] Hey Al! That means you! :^)

ok, i'll skip that one and wait until it's ready.

what would be the easiest way to go about this? i assume you want to see my
suggested changes before you apply them?

Personally, I don't much care, but if you want semi-private you can use
the slackbook mailing list. See

http://wombat.san-francisco.ca.us/ma...info/slackbook

for details on how to join. (It's a relatively quiet list.)

As much sas I wood love too I an busy seeting up a webbpage and tyring
to find the beast hoasting company for it. midphase looks like an
idea.

Just looking around to see if the nobrainer domain's for me had been
taken I started doing pseudo.com etc. Nothing available and nothing
special but I did find faux.net to be scary. The bottem part was the
best:

Copyrite - it is illegal to use the above content for any reason
without permission. If you were not referred to this website by an
authorized authority or an authority vetted link, you are not
authorized to read the content or use its links.

How does one become authorized o vetted? I was just typing in parts
of my alias with standard TLDs on the end. Does that mean I arrived
via a non-authorized or vetted source and that I can't read the site?

If I do not read the site how do I find out that I can't read the
site?

Unauthorized use may be subject to a $500.00 fine per linkage.
If you have read it, authorized or not, knowledge of its content
may be used against you (2004 Patriot's Act, Classified Section
1301.c.(3) :-). (c) 2004 www.Faux.Net Works, VLLC.

Ahh. There we go. Now it all makes since. Section 1301 of 1016,
cute.

The slackbook mailing list will work fine, as will my e-mail address
which is slightly munged above.
