Hi All,<br><br>Some of you already know, we are starting a community effort to revise Mercurial: The Definitive Guide.<br><br>I've been in touch with the original author already. While we are still working out the details of how Bryan wants to be involved in the process (specifically reviewing / approving the changes we make), we've been given the green light to begin the effort. I have also been in touch with the publisher; I am still waiting to hear back regarding whether they will print a 2nd revision of the paper copy of the book. I'll report back when I know something.<br>
<br>We are still in the early stages and have a lot of details to work out, but I propose we start by collecting a list of proposed changes -- topics to write about, topics we know need to be updated, etc -- and decide on the subject matter before we begin the large-scale writing efforts. I have started a wiki page where everyone can suggest their ideas:<br>
<br><a href="http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/WorkOnRevisingTheDefinitiveGuide">http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/WorkOnRevisingTheDefinitiveGuide</a><br><br>Please feel free to add not only something you can or want to write about, but something you feel should be covered in the book but is missing. I think once we give everyone some time to get their initial ideas for large changes down, we can finalize the topics and start the actual writing.<br>
<br>We also have a community member (Tak) who is going to be editing from a language standpoint, so if you have expertise and want to write about something, but are concerned about how well your English will come across, please don't let that be a deterrent.<br>
<br>Cheers,<br>Na'Tosha<br>
