In terms of content, CiviCRM looks really fine.

One thing I am worried about is the URL naming conventions for the chapters
- specifically that URLs start with a chronological number indicating where
the chapter appears in a book.

What happens when we move a chapter around, and ch020_deduping-and-merging
becomes ch027_deduping-and-merging?  I presume that all those links go to a
page not found.  That will become a big pain for us because we link to
specific chapters in this book from lots of places.  I would prefer a url
that is more stable, something like [section-name]/[chapter-name] would work
for CiviCRM's use case.  Happy to discuss this more.

The only 'bug' that I could find was that on
http://new.flossmanuals.net/civicrm/ (i.e. not
http://new.flossmanuals.net/civicrm/index) the previous and next links are
not working.  This probably would create a bad impression because I guess it
will more often that not be the first link someone clicks on when they start
reading a manual.

In terms of improvements, the comment box looks really tiny.  I guess that
is just because it has default attributes / styling, etc.

Thanks a lot for doing all this :)
