[Zope3-Users] Re: Zope 3.1.0 & Zope3 Developer's Book

[Corey]

Thanks for the response, Stephan; your efforts are appreciated! 

Maybe I can be of some help by going through the book using the new 3.1b and 
make notes of whatever stuff ( code and/or text ) that could be changed to
better reflect the changes from 3.0 to 3.1.

Or maybe if the Zope3 Book was wiki'fied, like the Zope2 Book 
( http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook/2_6Edition/ ), it would be 
easier for others to contribute change suggestions and report 
issues/discrepancies.

Does the online Zope3 reflect the dead-tree version?
