Hello
I am a new subscriber to this mailing list, I became interested in
maxima after doing some work to assemble an RPM package for 5.9.1beta
for Fedora Core 1 some time ago.

Starting from the 5.9.1beta tar file, compiling Maximabook was not
straightforward, and I got the impression that that maxima beta
release was not quite in synch with the book. I favor the idea of
splitting the book from maxima. I think that development work and
especially the release process would gain from having maxima
decoupled from maximabook. I also put forward the proposal to have
separate releases for the emacs/latex stuff, so that also there
development can be decoupled.
Greetings,
