I think it should be there for the original `just transcribe' project
before we start updating the book.  That way, we can `branch' at the
release of the original book to fix any minor bugs as they come to
light.

Larry and I have discussed this in the past.  I believe Larry is
currently waiting for me to push O'Reilly's lawyer on which `open'
licence they've settled on in order to get a project registered with
SourceForge or Savannah.

I'll go do just that.

Cheers,


Ralph.
