That would be great! The first task would be though to merge the SAMS edit work to the master TeX document. I can provide you with the Word files from SAMS and give you access to the book repository, which is located in a special repository on zope.org. Sounds great; I'll be able to devote real, actual, time to this. I went and emailed Jim a signed and scanned copy of the Contributor Agreement, so hopefully I'll be recieving an svn account soon.

Are there prospective plans to keep the book updated with the releases, or are there simply not enough resources/time available at this point to do so? I am not sure how much time I will have. I am very booked till school starts again. I would need at least a week to get everything updated, not to mention covering new features.

I still have a lot to learn, but I thought that perhaps it would be helpful to pick a section in the book that has changed (for example, I believe Chapter 20, on workflow), and attempt to document the appropriate way to handle it in 3.1. As I said, I do have a lot to learn, but as long as someone points me in the right direction, I would feel comfortable attempting this. Is this something that would be helpful?
