The current revision is attached to this email.
Please review and either suggest changes or edit in the repository directly. This seems like a really "easy" idea so I'd like to put it up for a vote swiftly.
Which edition of "The C++ Programming Language"?
I wasn't sure if I should specify the edition in the vote proposal, but the intention would be "the latest edition". It'd seem counterproductive to send out anything less. Do you think it'd be better if we specified the edition as part of the vote?
Not sure. I haven't seen the fourth ed. which seems to be a complete rewrite, focusing on C++11. This would be good, assuming we start moving to C++11 soon. The third ed. would probably be more applicable to our current code base. (I just recall the huge change between the 2nd and 3rd editions.)
