FWIW, I just finished reading the tutorial and consider it as a very nice
introduction to Oz. Please keep a short (is 100 pages short?) tutorial
available for the next newcomers. As for the book, I don' think publishing
it online and marking it as a draft would be a problem for the printed
version. I would by the book even if it was available on the web, for you
don't use a printed and an on-line version for the same purposes. Then I
would like to have an up-to-date version of the book available on-line for
reference, cut-n-paste, etc. Lots of free software books are published
this way (DocBook Definitive Guide, XML Bible, etc.)
