I think that at this moment it would be better to direct our efforts
towards getting the content right. While current PDF and HTML output
doesn't look great but rather ok-ish, I think that people will ignore
that if there is something they can learn :)

We're making great progress now, but we've only been really at work for
a week and a half - I predict it will take a few more months before the
book is 'publisheable' or 'complete' (whatever that means in an open
source project ;-).
