Which version of the guide should the sticky be pointing to? The one in Kevin's previous post? Or something else? I don't want to accidentally add to the confusion.

You hit me with a link to a post with the attachment you want people to start from, and I'll sticky it. But that may lead to heavy maintenance -- making sure incorporated changes get added for new volunteers start from.

Until the guides files are in a repo, I think it makes more sense for one (or maybe two people including Hitch) to be making the changes rather than a crowd pointing out fixes that may or may not already have been made.

I appreciate all the recent input, but we may run into a "Too many Cooks" situation if we're not careful.

I'd love to see a markdown representation of the chapters in a repo, myself. That way there'd be no need to worry about html, css, attribute orders, or opf/nxc stuff at all. Pull requests could be submitted by users and a behind-the-scenes process for creating the actual epub could handle the rest.

I could convert the "latest" chapters to markdown and put them in a sigil-ebook/manual repo pretty quickly if people think it would make sense (collaboratively speaking). From there, we could create an epub (as well as an online manual) pretty easily.
