Alex,
The SAG is an important work. Please focus on getting it up to date, and
schedule regular updates, for instance every 4-6 months. I understand the
problems you are facing, being the author of the Introduction to Linux,
which also needs regular updates because of the variety o subjects and the
flexibility and growth of the Linux systems available.
Do not worry if you are not completely happy with a paragraph or subject.
You will get input from your readers and small updates every now and then
will help you to improve the work. Also, feel free to contact us if you
need an opinion on (part of) your writings.
I will also set myself a deadline: get the "in progress" page updated by
the end of the month. Check back in by the 1st of August and then you can
decide on further commitment, what do you say about that?
Tille.
