This is the call for reviewers of the revised and updated edition of
"Penguin in the Pew". I have not yet completed the final chapter, nor
the Resources section. I am also working on the index. However, I
think most of the book is now close enough to ready that I can say I
have a rough draft. It would be good at any rate to get started on
any revisions, so I can tidy up ASAP and get it out there. The
current draft is about 124 pages.
This edition offers more up-to-date screen shots, a photo or two, and
a hopefully much improved layout. It covers more turf and plunges
deeper than the first edition. It offers a whole chapter just for
non-techies. It includes a brief guide to GNU/Linux distributions
(only covering the more important ones. Perhaps I need to include
info about TurboLinux and Connectiva Linux? I have also provided an
overview of the Christian FOSS community, though I need to get some
more historical information. There's a little bit of Who's Who in the
mix.
Comments are needed for:
<> Grammatical structure & Layout
<> Technical Accuracy
<> Spotting pertinent info that should be included
Reviewers will preferably use OpenOffice.org, as that is the format
you will receive my manuscript in. I need at least one non-techie to
read it and tell me what you don't grasp.
I also have a question - How much should I say about BSD? I have
already said a lot more about it in this edition than I said
previously. Even so, the book is really about GNU/Linux, and I would
like to keep it in focus. Still, it seems only right to add a few
nice words about our UNIX cousins. :)
Blessings,
Don
