I know we're not gauging opinions yet but I think the book should be consolidated into the official Apache Subversion project. It would be a boost to both efforts for many reasons. Furthermore having the documentation presented on the same website is much more sensible and professional from a user perspective. It would also help in a future redesign of the website, as the documentation section would be thorough and quite complete.
