Quote:At the very least, it's concerning that they don't want to answer the question in the public eye, even if it is simply that "we thought it would work better in terms of us not getting zinged regarding having advertising," or "we want to publish a book of this later". Yes, the latter might make people not want to contribute anymore, but so will publishing a book without telling the community it's happening first.Not necessarily. The Hacker's Jargon File was published as a book something like 20 years ago, but the online version is still around, and even if it's now a bit moribund still was updated rather extensively after the book came out.
