- Conversion went well, but formatting looks shabby. Improve formatting, add notes and sidebars, Improve aesthetics all the way around. Add a "Resources" and "Licensing" page, as needed. Provide links to related books. Make sure the book is well-categorized.

- Did a read-through today. Book is a lousy stub but has attracted a scant few contributions from other contributors. Desperately needs some images to illustrate some of it's concepts, and has a lot of empty pages and empty headings, especially in later sections/chapters.

Has good structure, navigation. Needs to be expanded.

[edit | edit source]- 13 November 2008
- Book is a stub with mostly redlinks and very little content. Content that is here is disjointed and stubby. Massive need for more text content and more illustrations. Very poor condition.
- 15 November 2008
- Book is a stub with very little content and an incomplete TOC. What this book needs most is a full-time author to adopt it, because it's not far enough along yet for occasional contributors to be able to latch onto it. Needs everything.
- 17 November 2008
- The whole second half of the book hasn't been written yet. Needs more content, images, explanations. Especially images, explanations of most materials will suffer without them. Not enough written yet to support a PDF or a collection.
- 19 November 2008
- TOC is only about half full with existing pages. Most pages are stubby and need more content. Needs more images, and better integration of existing images. Mostly, needs to be adopted by an active author.
- 20 November 2008
- Poor quality mishmash of various topics. Many pages are stubs. TOC is inconsistent with subpage naming. Risks becoming an encyclopedia of hardware/software configurations. Needs more examples, more pictures, more explanations. Strongly consider and maybe start planning breaking this book into smaller, more focused volumes: RTOS, C + Assembly interaction, Embedded hardware programming, Real-Time Software, etc. Might just be better off this way.
- 23 November 2008
- A few pages are yet to be written, and some of the pages are stubbish. Needs more examples, badly. Also needs images to illustrate some points.
- 25 November 2008
- Book is a terrible stub. The TOC is mostly redlinks, and many of the pages that have been created are stubbish. Needs a lot of focused work and an influx of content.
- 26 November 2008
- Book is a complete stub. Many entries in the TOC are not written, and many of the pages that do exist are just a rough outline of page headings. Book needs lots and lots of work in every way.

(Course) (Book) (Edit Notes)WV:Introduction to Robotics

This book was donated to Wikibooks from http://joshua.smcvt.edu/linearalgebra/

- The second half of the book needs to be fixed for formatting after the automated conversion made a mess of it. The first half of the book is decent, and is even attracting new authors. Lots of good examples and exercises, but needs a Collection.
- 3 December 2008
- Book is a stub with mostly redlinks in the TOC. Needs lots of new content to be written. Considering doing a massive content dump or even a mass-import from Wikipedia. Needs a lot of work.
