Of course one would then have to ask when Zope 2.6 will be ready ;)

> Hi,
> 
> I have placed a development version of a new Zope Book edition
> (covering Zope 2.6) up for perusal at
> http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook/2_6Edition .  It is
> not yet finished, but it's getting there.  10 new chapters have been
> added, and many others have been rewritten.  The way you can tell if
> a chapter has been rewritten is that it will typically have no
> inline comments, because they've all been addressed in the body of
> the chapter.  Chapters *with* comments are typically the ones that
> have not yet been rewritten or otherwise meaningfully changed.
> 
> You may not use inline commenting on this version of the book as you
> can with the "current" Zope book online version as don't want to
> gather inline comments just yet.  However, if you notice something
> really desperately wrong (NOT spelling, NOT chapter numbering, NOT
> figure numbering, NOT grammar, NOT license or "hair splitting"
> terminology nits) in the content of the document, feel free to let
> me know via email.

> Thanks!

> The rest of the chapters I've got pretty much under control (or at
> least I think I can finish them soon).
> 
> "Editing and extending" these chapters means:
> 
>  - Downloading the source version of the chapter via the "STX
> source"
>    link at the top of the page.
> 
>  - Addressing all the comments in the section (either by ignoring
> them
>    or weaving a solution to the complaint represented by the comment
>    into the document).
> 
>  - Extending the chapter based on the comments or your own personal
>    experience.
> 
>  - Sending the edited source back to me for inclusion
>    into the Book.
