*** Open Feedback Publishing System ***

Bridging the Gap between Private Manuscripts and Public Blogs

The Open Feedback Publishing System (OFPS) bridges the gap between private
manuscripts and public blogs, allowing readers to read and comment on
in-progress O'Reilly manuscripts, communicate suggestions with the authors,
follow others' comments, and directly participate in the development of new
books.

Authors publish the in-progress manuscripts whenever they think it's ready
for public comment and then update the site with new versions as the text is
improved. Readers on the site are able to comment on any particular section,
down to the paragraph level. Participate in collaborative community feedback
to help refine in-progress, open projects:
