No, but nothing there has stopped being valid and there's little
fundamentally new on the subject (what you're asking about here
has been in the shell for most of its history, but subject to
tweaks).

I kind of stopped work on the guide when the book came along, but
actually at that point it was complete up to the sort of things I
thought it needed.  Anything more would depend a bit what the questions
were --- I suppose it would need some sort of specific project to
work through.
