The last revision of the Tao was in 2012, which led us to believe it might be time for a new version. This new version is what we would like to present to you today.

I reviewed the new revision last month, and do have a few suggestions, as I mentioned on the list previously.

Unfortunately I was busy with work stuff and hadn’t had time yet to write up my comments.

Is it too late now? I’m happy to write up my comments, but I don’t want to waste my time if we’re already past the point of being able to make any further changes.
