KT To Do

NB I am not committing to these ... just hope to find the time soon ...

• Go through the user stories
• Licensing section - leave 'till last (or after all other sections perused)
• On third pass: standardise 's's to 'z's, split infinitives, apostrophes for possessives only.
• Case study or story running through a set of exercises with each chapter.
• Structure:
  • Think about the copyright paradox
  • Which cross-cutting concerns could be done by end of June?
  • Check the other things on the Thoughts on Structure page and in the issue tracker ...
