Hi Carl
What happened soon after the sprint was that I got sucked up in 2 and
a half months of exams and classes, so the book never got a proper
formal launch. I also tried to get more people involved in fact
checking the book before the release, but none of the developers got
back to me. I've only recently managed to make time to start
contributing to the book, which is why I've sent another mail [1] the
KDE Devel mailing list for fact checking and suggestions that can be
incorporated before we release the book.

I can help writing a dot article for releasing the book, but can only
do so after the 12th. I completely agree with placing this book in the
"Get Involved" section along with links to Techbase and Userbase since
the book is meant to be used along with them.
