This sounds all well and good, but I would have preferred if one of the authors was Isaac.

Just my 20cents worth.

Personally I'd prefer it if Isaac just got on with developing and debugging MythTV. :D

I find these environments to dynamic for a paper hardcopy book. Even the forum/wiki has a hard time keeping up. the book wad probably out of date when it hit the shelves. nothing can replace online forum/mailing list to handle 'todyas' issue
