It is the latest HTML build of the source, product of the excellent
work of Josh, the lead author (who is going to be mostly off line for
a few days, BTW) . But yeah, the editing process have continued and we
have made some extra progress which is not reflected there, but that
has been focused on new chapters (i.e. the ones without content on the
latest HTML build).

What I mean is that you can review that version being confident that
you are reading up-to-date content, but not all the current content.

Now, if you don't mind reading ReStructuredText, you can track our
progress on the project's public repository at
<http://kenai.com/projects/jythonbook/sources/jython-book/show>. Or
(and likely a better idea), if you want to make a local build of the
content, I'd be happy to give you a hand with Sphinx to create a local
HTML or PDF version.

All those would be very appreciated and it's part of the spirit of
putting the content online as is being produced.

Thanks for the observation! Keep them coming! :)
