How Wikipedia Works now has its own website, with the online source-viewable version of the text (required under the GFDL). This version of the book still has a back cover text, as the print version did, so it’s not quite compatible with Wikipedia.
A separate version, licensed without cover texts — with simpler formatting and editable, not required to be a perfect source replica of the print edition — will hopefully be online soon.
The one remaining copy of the book I now have in Cambridge has been in some demand; hopefully I’ll get another batch soon to send out.
I may be a little bit biased, but Wikibooks would make a great place to host a community-edited GFDL version of this book. I’m just sayin’ is all I’m sayin’ 🙂

SJ: I’m getting you more copies!
Everyone who wants a real live copy: They are available online from your favorite independent bookstore! or better yet from nostarch.com.
