Gang, In the FAQs at: www.bodhilinux.com/w/about-support-faq/#Bodhi_eBookit is stated: Where can I find the Bodhi eBook?
“Bodhi Linux 7.0.0 – The Complete Guide for Beginners” (ISBN: 9781005193270) is an excellent eBook publication from Bodhi forum member JollyRoger, aka Roger Carter. It’s available (free) at www.smashwords.comWhen I follow the link (www.smashwords.com) it links to Bodhi Linux 6 not 7. And when looking at the list of books by the same author I see no reference to Bodhi 7.0 at all. Does this simply mean the link needs to be updated or that there is no e-book for Bodhi 7.0 currently available? Kindest regards, The Scarlet Pimpernel |

No, there is no BL7 e-book yet. BL6 was written by Roger Carter for us but not sure he will write BL7. He is more than 80 yo gentleman. I hope he is in great health shape.
Web guys: change BL7 version to BL6 pls!
Stefan

Web guys: change BL7 version to BL6 pls! Stefan The wordpress page was using a wordpress variable for the current version there. Fixed now along a couple minor edits my grammar checker recommended. |

The BL6 book had some opinions and recommended changes (PCFileMan for Thunar, etc.) that were not really necessary. But yes, it was worth reading. I don't know whether he will have a book for BL7; someone here remarked that he is over 80. As I'm over 70, I will not volunteer to update this.

Also over 40. I think one of the youngsters should take it on! 🙂 I'm 64 but like the plague victim in Monty Python, I'm not dead yet  It shouldn't be too hard to produce an updated version.
Task list:
1. Contact original author to seek permission to produce a revised edition with attribution. 2. Contact dev's &/or get input from the community to seek permission & ask rough notes as to what has changed from a user facing perspective.
3. Actually read the BL6 ebook (duh) & make notes on changes. 4. Revise text. 5. Seek editorial input for further edits from dev's/community. 6. Publish final revision.
I'm wondering if this wouldn't be better handled as a wiki rather than pdf? 
Thoughts?

Hahaha, not the same character but, just a minor flesh wound!
That sounds like a sensible plan, but I was also thinking last night a wiki style would be better. I was also thinking of using GitHub so that the community can add pull requests so it’s a “live” document. But all these great ideas need someone to put them into action. I might look into tentatively setting up a GitHub repo this weekend as I have some rare free time and seeing what happens.
