There's only one point I'm going to contest, and one I'm going to augment, and for good reason:

This is going to have a full application being built through it, provide module references, etc. In short, the book is going to replace the current docs. It's going to be available as the same static type of files we use now, as well as an epub, a pdf, and a self-published book on lulu.com. I'm factoring in the making of the book as part of my work process. The app I'm making is one I need, and I'm just (more or less) documenting the development process. So, while I don't need someone to take over, I do need an editor. If anybody knows of one, please do speak up. I'm not above paying for it, either. I don't know what the going rates are, but I do know the results of having a good editor are worth it. > Point 4: This is something that has to be done.

You can fork on SF.net and send pull requests there, *or* you can fork on github and send pull requests there. https://github.com/pedersen/ has mirrors of the SF repositories for convenience. They're updated every four hours automatically. Now, for the rest, Alessandro is right: If there's a resource page missing, let us know and we'll add it. It might take a little bit (such as the rebuild of planet.turbogears.org), but we will do it. If you have a question, we will do our best to answer it. I know I've slipped slightly in that regard, but others seem to have picked up that ball very well (and I appreciate it more than words can say). Anyway, there's my bits of info on it right now. Oh, and before anybody asks: It looks like the "future of TG2" announcement will be tomorrow night. Unless some last minute major issue is found in what I wrote (which I don't expect at this point). -- Michael J.
