I rather jumped the gun shoving out the book before it was fully reviewed and edited, on the theory that it's more efficient to ask forgiveness than it is to ask permission. ;-) On the same principle, I don't think we should delay the first edition of the Writer Guide only to update the screenshots; IMO we should publish the chapters ASAP and move on, returning to fiddle with pix when we're doing other updates and revisions. I'd like to see the WG chapters available to the public on the wiki as soon as we're verified that the facts are correct. So far, the work Barbara's done that I've checked looks very close to first publication (by my standards); I'm hoping to quickly get through the other chapters she's done, though I may be overly optimistic about my time available. Of course, if several people with non-Windows boxes can tackle the pix quickly enough, publication would not be delayed.
