As I suspected, Jerry dropped off the list because he's been busy. I chatted with him and he doesn't have any time to commit to this. >>this likely depends on ORA thinking that a new edition might sell, >>perhaps electronic-only. > > I was under the vague impression that ORA gave Jerry back the book and > he can now do whatever he wants with it, but obviously Jerry is the one > to comment on that. I can comment on that too since I was in the discussion with Jerry and Tim. We persuaded Tim to relicense the book under the GPL and I was the one who did the SourceForge set-up. Please see: http://rand-mh.sourceforge.net/book/copying.html Since I'm all for updating The MH Book, I'd be happy to help upload new files to SourceForge. I may even be able to wordsmith a little (but only if I get more than one dive and one MH-E release in a year :-). I can also make you or a volunteer a rand-mh.sourceforge.net developer so that they can check in changes on their own and answer questions about the book's roadmap. It's truly great to see all the activity. Being being on nmh mail evokes a rather unfamiliar feeling.
