Mercurial Definitive guide is out of date. Plus obvious solution.

I'll keep poking him :-)  He would prefer not to use a Wiki, but the book will not be hard to update in any case, it's just a Mercurial clone with (I think) html source.

Also it would be nice if the changes to the book are dominated by one or two main people (or at least edited by one or two main people). it will give a consistency of terminology and writing style...

Wikis are good for a "how do I do XYZ task?" sort of thing but they don't really have a progressive narrative that a book does...

(BTW I am all for us updating the definitive guide. When I first started with Mercurial I read it from one end to the other... and quite liked its style etc. It was nice and accessible.)
