The BackTalk version *is* the canonical version for Zope 2.7, so the synchronization issue doesn't exist.
The catch seems to be that there's more than one BackTalk version. One's on zope.org, and that's what I worked on.
As if any more evidence were needed that the current situation is untenable, I just attempted to figure out what Fred changed. The diff between the zope.org version and the plope.com version, according to diff -b -B, is now over 6203 lines long. There is no way in hell I'm going to sort that out.

I'm fine with any other solution. I don't really have a problem with the current one, but if it makes things easier for all involved, I'll get behind whatever folks come up with. - C

Not a chance. We're talking locally about how to approach this. I think the interest and 'noise' is going to equal the *right thing* being done. Andrew -- Zope Managed Hosting Systems Administrator/Software Engineer Zope Corporation (540) 361-1700

Just to clarify - I don't mean by the people here, I mean punished by the current lack of process.

Well, as usual when this subject comes up, I felt sufficiently guilty to spend a couple hours working on my assigned chapter (Appendix B). Latest and greatest at http://www.plope.com/Books/2_7Edition/AppendixB.stx as usual. I would really like ZMI access to zope.org, where I hope the history would help me extract Fred's changes and merge them with mine. I think I've filled out all the relevant agreements - anything missing there? -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com
