You're welcome to send me unfinished chapters. :-)

I've got a couple hundred uncommitted copy edits (for clarity, writing,
etc.), but the web page is basically up to date content-wise. 

In principle there will be a separate book for configuration, and the
install.txt document covers installation. But I would have no objection to
including configuration stuff in the Tutorial until the separate book
exists or there is too much material for one book, at which time it can be
cut-and-pasted elsewhere.

The FSF has said they will publish this book when it's finished.
