My apologies if this has reached the list already, as I have not received my copy of it back yet. But below is what I tried to send earlier:
I have been hiding in the background for the last eight months as I sought to court a wife. During that time I have also waited for someone else to beging writing this guide. I would have been very happy to help with the peer review of whatever was written. I'm not sure that I know enough yet about the ins and outs of Base, but someone has to start the writing. So, that is what I am going to do. I trust that others will look closely at whatever I write and make constructive criticisms where they are needed. I have much to learn as I progress in this task. From the outline, it seems to me that the preface should be one of the last things written because it its reader to where in the Guide to find the information desired. Writing it last just seems to be the more sensible thing to do. My goal is to have the Introducing Base chapter written by January 15, 2008. I also want to have an additional chapter ready by the 15th of each succeeding month. If at all possible, I would like for others to review each chapter during the first two weeks after it is submitted. That will give me approximately two weeks each month to concentrate completely upon the chapter I am then writing. Dan
