[FM Discuss] Introduction to the Command Line: authors wanted

[Andy Oram]

Thanks again, Greg. Let me ask a general question: do members of this list
want a detailed discussion on this list about items to add, remove, and
update in the book? I know that details about FLOSS Manuals books are
sometimes discussed on this list, but I don't want to overload everybody's
email boxes. On the other hand, the wiki at the Free Software Foundation is
not as appropriate for discussion as email (hopefully to be archived).
