It is midnight, we are busy finishing proof-reading the last chapters, after having been spoiled one more time with a scrumptious dinner cooked by an amazing Jill.
After 4 days, time to put some numbers on this sprint:
- 5 squirrels,
- 8 chipmunks,
- dozen of blue jays
- 2 coyotes, and
- 1 bernese mountain dog,
- 11 000 words, spread around a lot of new chapters both aiming the users of CiviCRM and the developers.
- So many design choices, implementations details and usability issues that we have been discussing for a long time online have been agreed upon in 20 minutes brainstorm sessions
- While writing a book, you are forced to thing about the logic of every feature, and what is the proper term for each item much more than when you simply use or develop it. We identified a few places where CiviCRM wasn't as coherent as what we were writing, and could find the time to correct the code so it is now as logical and simple as described in the book.

These blog posts are so cool -- it's great to have a sense of the collaborative process!
Is there a specific target date for a new online version of the book? I'm eager to see what you guys come up with. We're just getting immersed in CiviCRM, and wanting the best resources available!
Adam & Michael did massage it on the way down, and here it comes:
...the new book (some edits still to come)
This is excellent. The chapter on groups/relationships etc. is a very concise and helpful explanation! Looking forward to reading the rest.
