[Linuxcommand-announce] [LinuxCommand.org: Tips, News And Rants] I'm Looking For Reviewers

[William S. <bs...@pa...>]

Sorry about my long absence, but as you will see, I have an excuse:

Hello All,

I have just finished the first draft of a book I'm writing titled, "The
Linux Command Line" to be released under a Creative Commons license.
With the initial writing completed, it's time for some editing and
review. That means I'm looking for folks willing to perform some
reviewing. In particular, I need technical reviewers who can gently
point out my technical and historical errors, and I need less
experienced users who can find areas where my explanations are unclear.
Don't worry about grammar and spelling and such, I have a "real" editor
for that. At this stage I need gurus and sample users to test this
thing.

The book is fairly long (about 475 pages) so a good review will take
some time and effort on the part of any volunteers. If you make a
serious contribution, I will add your name to the list of contributors
in the "Acknowledgments" section of the first chapter. Don't laugh,
that's all I got for doing a technical review on O'Reilly's "Bash
Cookbook."

Unlike Bash Cookbook however, my book will be freely distributable in
PDF format but I am reserving the right to sell printed versions.

Please feel free to take a look at the draft. It can be downloaded from
my Sourceforge site at:

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/linuxcommand/TLCL-09.07.pdf?use_mirror=master

If you decide that you'd like to help out with the review, let me know
and I will provide further details.

Many thanks!
