Hi all, 

Over the past couple of months, I've been working on rewriting the primer from scratch, now titled Medley Interlisp for Beginners. If you have some time to go through the draft and add feedback or comments, your insights would help me a lot!

So far, we have six chapters, which were initially planned to serve as a MVP for the new direction of the primer. We've also switched to Gitbook as the main writing environment since it's better suited for markdown-based living documentation.

At the end of the document, you’ll also find a small section listing potential topics for upcoming chapters.

You should have full access to the Gitbook space here: 
https://app.gitbook.com/o/3lhRqaxAAFKz3gHlhGFP/s/G3fVTBmo1XNPYfBBw5Wd/

If you don't, please ping Dr. Masinter for access and in the meantime, this link will give you access to comment:
https://app.gitbook.com/invite/3lhRqaxAAFKz3gHlhGFP/qjTnb1WM4q1UQ06RB15v

Lastly, I'm moving to a new place tomorrow so I won't be able to attend meetings this week. I look forward to your comments and will respond to them as soon as I settle!

Best regards, 
Abhik

When I click the first link, GitBook prompts me to create an organization and publish a site. After clicking the second link I accepted the invite to the Lnterlisp.org organization but then I got the error "Something went wrong".

I don't have a GitBook account yet and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Since some of us still can't access the draft on GitBook I'm attaching a PDF file exported from there.
