Well, that implies that fitz, cmpilato, and I should be doing our work
on a branch. Then somebody (you? :-)) would compile the source from
both branches and upload them to the site.
I'm starting to like the branch idea a lot. But I wonder if people
really want to see fancy {html, ps, pdf} versions of a book that may
not be coherent.

I'd suggest having two side-by-side versions for each type (html, pdf,
ps). The first version will be the 'careful' one that everyone should
read if they just want info. The second version will be the
up-to-the-minute one that folks should read if they just want to follow
the book's development progress without compiling it themselves.

...whenever there's a big enough discrepancy between the HEAD version
of the book's source code and the PDF stuff on the website.
Fitz, cmpilato and I are in process of rewriting and expanding
chapters 3, 4, and 5 right now. So I'm not sure what our policy is.
I'm not sure if our commits to the book must "always keep the book
perfectly readable". If so, we need to be careful what we commit, or
commit less often, or work on a branch. If not, then we should upload
new PDFs only at major junctures, when the book *is* in a readable
state.
