Hello Group, The "book" is visible at http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/IG/resources/StateOfArt-Dailey.html . Any help you can give in finding errors, improving code, etc. is welcome. I'd suggest having folks each suggest a chapter or two that you might be able to work on, and I'll serve as a contact-person who tries to spread the work out so that people don't all end up working on the same chapters. The chapters are (in brief outline) 1. Chapter II: SVG Basics <http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/IG/resources/StateOfArt-Dailey.html#SVG_Basics#SVG_Basics> 1. The coordinate system <http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/IG/resources/StateOfArt-Dailey.html##> 2. Simple objects <http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/IG/resources/StateOfArt-Dailey.html##> 3. Operations: Grouping, Reusing, Scaling, Translation and Rotation <http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/IG/resources/StateOfArt-Dailey.html##> 4. putting SVG in a web page <http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/IG/resources/StateOfArt-Dailey.html##> 2.

What don't I see yet in SVG 1.1 or SVG1.2 that would be nice? <http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/IG/resources/StateOfArt-Dailey.html##> 4. Changes in the world around SVG <http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/IG/resources/StateOfArt-Dailey.html##> 5. The future at large <http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/IG/resources/StateOfArt-Dailey.html##> 7. Appendix I: HTML basics <http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/IG/resources/StateOfArt-Dailey.html#HTML_basics#HTML_basics> 8. Appendix II: JavaScript basics <http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/IG/resources/StateOfArt-Dailey.html#JavaScript_basics#JavaScript_basics> A couple of obvious things need to happen throughout: 1. The links from the table of contents to the individual chapters (through internal links) should be made workable 2. a variety of character set issues (like the use of em-dash = -- ) should be resolved 3. some uniform styling should be applied to chapters and subheadings (I am not a whiz with CSS so will welcome a volunteer or advisor.) 4. Figuring out how best to modify the existing content -- Doug does it make sense to just give me some permissions to modify content in situ, or does it make more sense to just replace the entire file with a newer version from time to time? As time allows, I will also look through the thoughtful reviews that Doug, Erik, and others contributed two years ago since much of that effort can be used fruitfully. cheers David
