Technically.  ^.^  They seem to have turned into mini support forums.  I 
wonder if instead of comments, just a report errors/updates submission 
form would be good.  Someone has to do it, sure, but it's easier to do 
(implement, there is a good techy word for you ;) than to clean up after 
20 comments here and there.

I do like the idea of the book better than a wiki, plus there really 
isn't a wiki available that is up to this. 

My one remaining concern with making a new handbook altogether is, 
presumably it would be kept under wraps and the old handbook would be 
left for general use while the new handbook is being made.  It seems 
almost cruel to leave people stuck with old documentation when there is 
a new and better thing, it just isn't available yet.
