Note that there are two versions of the webbook, a public one

www.nbi.dk/ChaosBook/
with only the finished parts, and the complete existing text on
www.nbi.dk/ChaosBook/coauthors/
for us only. You do not want to print the whole thing (880 pages!) but please scan through parts of interest to you.

Whenever you start working on a chapter, alert Predrag first, so that no other edits are made to the web version while you are working on it.

There are many obvious holes - examples:

 
1. billiard reflection rules and stability are not explained;
2. stable/unstable manifolds are not defined
3. summary not written
4. etc., etc.
that have to be patched before a book can be publishable; some are described in the ``Reviewers say'' section of coauthors version of the webbook. No coauthor has so far written up any of the missing text.
