where do you want me to start …? — Gregor Tanner 2009-03-08

Three kinds of edits are needed;

• check out/add to/edit desiderata
• Chapter "Get straight" needs to be rethought… Currently does not fit into the flow of the general argument.
• ChaosBook.org lacks a bookcover - a page of web text that says what the book is about. Like what you see when you look up some book on Amazon.com. Niall has written the first draft. Finalize it - repository ChaosBook/backblurb.html

• completing a chapter means completing it.
• 2009-10-05 Predrag: World in a mirror, Relativity for cyclists can be finalized now
• 2009-03-08 Predrag: Transporting densities, Averaging, Trace formulas, Spectral determinants, Cycle expansions block of chapters can be finalized now

Is it OK to insert illustrations in others people sections or change existing ones? It would be nice if all the illustrations follow one style and I thought we could stick to PCs hand drawings and something else for the rest. — Ronnie Mainieri 2008-06-29

ChaosBook lacks many many illustrations, compared to what we draw when we lecture on this material.

• See where you would like to add/edit illustrations, and talk to PC about which ones you want to do ahead of doing them. Please keep *.eps small, in KB's rather than 100s of KB's - otherwise the ChaosBook.pdf will explode.
• record the secrets of generating small figures in “How to format figures”
