Nice job on the book.
What about a wiki as an intermediate solution? That way the community itself
can collaborate on it rather than just the lonely few doing all the work...
A manual would be great but I may not live long enough to see it come out
:-)
We've been using Atlassian Confluence for some work projects and that has
been a good way to go being very slick, but it costs $$, but I guess the
usual open source suspects are also worthwhile choices. Is that something
that's easy to co-host with the ECJ + MASON website?
Thanks for all your efforts on these tools Sean.
Cheers
Shane

Eesh! Writing a book is a *lot* of work! I know: it took me nine months to
write Essentials of Metaheuristics, a book which has few examples and no
assignments and is only 230 pages. (btw if you've not seen it, get it at
http://cs.gmu.edu/~sean/book/metaheuristics/ )
I dunno. I mean MASON needs a *manual*, which might be nice to put out.
But that alone would be a large task.

Do tell! :-) No, it's not games. Though PacMan was fun to write.
