RE: [docbook] DocBook: The Definitive Guide, Second Edition

["Dick Hamilton" <rlhamilton@frii.com>]

Mauritz,

Work has been proceeding on the book, and it is currently in technical
review. I believe the version of the book in Short Cuts is identical to
the version being reviewed.

I think the book is getting pretty close, though that will of course
depend of the results of the technical review.

Thanks for the pointer to the sourceforge requests. I was unaware of
them, but I will look at them now.

Best Regards,
Dick
