Yes, I will. It will take some time though. I will start on
the first chapter.
I would like to have the source so that I can modify it. I
will post the first version
of the first chapter by the last week of December. I do
appreciate the work put in by TUG India. I just feel that
things could be better in this regard and I think I can be of
help. I have
been using TEX from 1988 and I think I should give back
something
to the community. I am no good in writing macros. Also, my
knowledge of
TEX/LATEX is purely functional. My solutions are not going to
be elegant
like some of the experts. This is one area I can contribute. I
am not an expert in
programming either.
