Kickstarter-funded textbook "Producing Open Source Software" 2nd Edition Now Finished

As a backer of the Kickstarter campaign, I was a little disappointed to learn that the 2nd edition of "Producing Open Source Software" would not be released in 2013 as originally planned. In particular, the delay meant that I could not recommend it to the teacher of my Open Source Development class that I took in 2015 - the first edition was outdated and the second edition, though web-accessible at the time, was unfinished and volatile.


Glad the book is out now, at least as a web site. When the dead-tree version becomes available, I will gladly add it to my library, knowing that I can access the source code online.
