Hi, I wanted to answer all these mails but didn't have time before. I agree with Yves. The problem now is not which will be the format. As I already said, people who will actually do the writing will agree on a format, of course with a discussion (not an argument) on the root list. The real problem is WHO will contribute. We can certainly have an argument, even a wild one, among us but not on the root list. So please, if you want to discuss these issues, we can do that when I will have recieved enough mails from people saying "I will do chapter XXX" and discuss among us. Then, we will report to the list to have other people's (reader's) opinion. I didn't think that my first mail would trigger such a heavy battle...
