The guide looks very nice, and I it shows that a lot of effort has been gone
into making it. That is great.

On the practical side, I think that adding corrections by emailing without
access to editing the source itself is both inconvenient and duplicating a lot
of effort unnecessarily. For example one cannot correct small details on the
spot and it will put off some people from contributing.

Why not opening the text in the wiki at Tudor? (which, by the way, was one of
its purposes).
That way one does not have to compile corrections, mail them, wait for the
corrections to be made, convert to pdf, etc. Progress would be much quicker.

Also, there is nothing stopping us having the latest nicely-formatted version
and an online "working" version of the text from which the former feeds.
The wiki ability to look through the history of the document is very useful
for both the final compilation and to keep track of what has been added
recently.

Cheers,
