Now on WikiBook there is allready a "real book" with structure in chapters, sections ;-) - it's called "Learning the vi editor". Of the 16 chapters 7 are Vim chapters :-). And I belive Vim covers more the 50% of the content. Now the Wiki motto is "Content first" so here my advertising free suggestion: 1) We add the Vim tips to the "Tips and Tricks" Chapter 2) Once we we have enough tips (content) we split the book. Wikibooks does not ask you to create "structure in chapters,sections" up front. It is not even suggested! Suggested is "Content first" and "structure in chapters,sections" later. BTW: With a tabbed browser and a fast internet connection you can rename 10 pages per minute - I once rename a 200 page book from "Programming:Ada" to "Ada Programming".
