So! If any of you want to help out, just let me know what you're claiming and leave me your e-mail address so I can make a note of it and know how to contact you. {= ) Also, this stuff is not and never was set in stone, so if you have ideas for additional/alternative content, we'd be interested in that, too.

Again, the Manual's e-mail address is ppc.manual (at) googlemail (dot) com.

The thing is, we lack people who feel qualified/willing to write the chapters, and the two of us who were on the original Manual Team can't do it by ourselves. We were actually discussing it not too long ago and had a couple of volunteers, but then there's the issue of organizing the effort. And... well, frankly the thread fell off the Board, so that kind of ended it at that time.

But eventually we'll probably do something about it. And of course, any and all help would be greatly appreciated. You don't actually have to be all that qualified. For instance, since you just got through the Original Series, you know the basics and therefore are perfectly qualified. If there happen to be details that came later, either I or my editor-in-chief, Huinesoron, will notice and add it in. {= )

Also, the Manual has an e-mail address: ppc.manual (at) googlemail (dot) com. Yes, that is googlemail, not gmail. Please send any articles there. We may not check it right away, but at least that way anything Manual-related will end up in one place.
