I never originally congratulated the HWW team when it was originally published.

Charles Matthews gave me a sneak-preview of the book last month, and I remembering making a jokey remark about how it was essentially "a paper version of the Help namespace". While I wasn't being entirely serious, he explained to me how it was much more than that: it was intended to be a clear and much more accessible help guide to editing, and a comprehensive guide on current policy and those "unwritten rules" which aren't immediately obvious.

Phoebe, Charles, Ben, you've done a fantastic job. I'm still fascinated by the GFDL licensing aspect! Was it your aim from the start to make a GFDL-compatible version?

Ah, you beat me to the punch on the announcement, as usual :)

But yes: "How Wikipedia Works", now in stores *and* in handy online GFDL-approved format. Suggestions, corrections and comments here please: http://wiki.phoebeayers.info

Thanks very much! Phoebe
