At one point, speaking to Kasten and Mel on IRC, I had offered for OSUOSL to provide this service. But we never dove into details and that was the last I heard of it. I'm glad to do anything here I can to help -- which may make sense if Tim is testing out the book on campus to have it at OSL where we can work closely on any issues that come up. > 4.

I think people have provided a lot of good stuff. I've read through about half of the book in its current form, and overall it is quite good. There are a number of things that stand out to me (changes in tone is one big example) that I think detract a bit, but can be ironed out with some editing. > > If you have time to spare next week, send a note to the list reporting for > duty, and let's figure it out.
