| I just posted the last chapter we had left to write, Profiling and
| optimisation. Please get your comments in by the end of Tuesday, September 2!
| The response to the previous two has been excellent; we appreciate your help
| and careful reading.
|
| With that chapter posted, we draw over 15 months of intensive writing to a
| close. I am very proud of our work. It has been a pleasure to work with John
| and Don on the manuscript, and Mike has been a great editor. The interest and
| participation of our readers has made writing this book a uniquely rewarding
| experience, so we thank you all for your encouragement and help.
|
| [...]
|
| How has our system of open, incremental development worked out? In my
| estimation, it has been a fantastic success, far overwhelming my
| expectations.
|
| * We have received 7153 comments so far.
| * That’s an average of 1.73 comments per paragraph.
| * The usual number of technical reviewers for a technical book is 2.
| * 748 people have commented so far on our drafts.
