Which remaining 11 books are you talking about, 2-12, or 18-28? If the latter,
that's a BIG job.
The latter, since they need all of them - for the rest, they at least
have somethingto start with (and can implement the outstanding errata
themselves if they like to).
Of course, if we cannot provide them with the electronic texts,
they'll have to fix that themselves. Chances are that we'd be able to
deliver better quality though (*if* we have volunteers with time
left...).
If Ingo is too busy to run each through a spellchecker, I
could try to do so if I get access to the existing XML files for 18-21 and
whatever else exists. It really does take me about a week to go through each
printed copy of the book looking for errors, though, so that's about 3 months'
work just there.
Will they want copies of the artwork as well?
New artwork has been announced, so most likely not.
If you can tell me the plan of action, Jon, I'll get working right away.
Do we know of any deadlines?

It'll be nice to see all the issues for 2-17 fixed! ^_^;;
I'll try to steal time from something else so I can contribute there...
