Yes, just like the new developer manual, we'll be writing the book
using the Booki web application on the Flossmanuals site at
http://www.flossmanuals.net/. One can download the book, or order it
in paper from Lulu.com. I'd rather read such a book on my Kindle than
on dead trees! And I think most of our prospective audience will as
well.

Flossmanuals books can easily be updated, either to correct small
errors, or to publish entire new editions.

For those like David who will not have time to write, it is worth
sending us your thoughts on what should be included, and any other
relevant information. Remember, I can only edit and inspire. :-)
