I can work on some stuff. For example, I can do a Quickstart tutorial 
(Introduction section) if nobody's working on it already. I'd like to 
help out with any Mac OSX oddities and variations, such as 
<option>-<mouseclick> to restrict movement or scaling along an axis, 
rather than middle-button-click. I can work on some Mesh Modeling 
(Editmode, Extrude, Proportional editing tool) and/or Animation 
(Keyframe or Path) pages, as well, if nobody is working on them. 
Although these have a great basis already from the text in the book.

Very VERY cool. The book is always on my desk, and to make that 
available for everyone to learn from is the best way to get people 
learning blender. I reference my copy of the book all the time (easier 
than remembering features I don't often use).

Any word of the return of a Linux browser plugin?
