BookPlan

This wiki page contains the plan for completing the book by Dec. 11.

States for a chapter

A chapter may be in the following states:

• (A) aspirational: we have talked about doing it
• (IP) in progress: there is an outline, or some text has been written
• (MW) mostly written: there is a solid draft, but still more to do
• (FDC) first draft completed: the draft is ready to be reviewed ... the authors have done the best that they can
• (UR) review: peers review the chapter and provide feedback
• (FR) first revision: the authors take peer review feedback and modify the chapter. At this point, the contents of the chapter are assumed to be mostly correct
• (E) under editing: read-alouds with peers
• (SR) second revision: take feedback from read-alouds and making the final version of the chapter
