Significant milestone in the writing of the Sametime Users Guide... Marie and I are finished with the first draft!
Category IBM/Lotus
Today, Marie Scott and I hit a major milestone in our authoring efforts on the Sametime Users Guide we're writing for Packt Publishing. We submitted the first drafts for Chapter 12 and the three appendices to our editor, finishing three weeks early for our deadline schedules. Hard to believe we've written 300 pages of material, and we're still speaking. :)
The next step is to start taking the technical and editorial feedback we've received on earlier chapters and incorporating it into 2nd (final?) drafts. Then with any luck, they'll all be accepted, and Packt will go to work getting the book printed and ready for distribution.
It'd be nice to see the book on the shelves by Lotusphere 2011 so they can have it there in the show floor bookstore.
My unending gratitude goes out to those who have helped Marie and I get to this point, be it with servers, documentation, or images we needed to make our explanations clear to the readers. And of course, special thanks to Marie for making this project much easier than I ever expected it to be. I said I'd never write a tech book, and once again I'm reminded to never say never...
