B O O K W O R M About the versioning system adopted xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For all my releases after 8 May 2003 I am adopting the versioning system used by #bookz. This is different from the system used in alt.binaries.e-book and associated newsgroups. I have given this matter very careful thought and decided that the #bookz version is the correct version for me. A summary of the versioning system (extracted from #bookz FAQ) is as follows: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx The version level tries to show how much proofing has been done to an ebook. Some communities (for example, the regular posters to alt.binaries.e-book) are trying to assign meaning to each level that is intended to indicate the quality or content of the file, e.g. v4 means very well proofed, but this idea has not been widely adopted. The version system most often seen is: UC means UnCorrected. This is a raw scan and will probably include page numbers. Example: Jimmy Hubert - The Exciting Story (UC).rtf SLUC means SLightly UnCorrected. The page numbers have been removed from a UC file. Otherwise, the version level will be a number to show how many times the book has been corrected or updated. After proofing a book, you must increase the version level to show that it has been changed. If you've only made a few small changes, increase it by 0.1. For major changes, increase it by 1.0. For example: v1 means that this is the first corrected release of the book i.e. it has been proofed beyond merely an UnCorrected raw scan. For example: Jimmy Hubert - The Exciting Story (v1) [rtf].rar v2 means that this is the second version of the book, with some corrections to the first (v1) version. For example: Jimmy Hubert - The Exciting Story (v2) [rtf].rar Do not label a book v.1 but rather use v1 (i.e. without the "." in between the "v" and the number). This will avoid confusion with other version levels, for example, between v0.1 and v1. If all you've done is change from one format to another (say TXT to HTML) do not increase the version level. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Full details of #bookz FAQ can be found at http://www.softsnow.biz/books/faq.shtml
