I just got the ebook. The artima web site does not list errata (!), so I've been wasting time submitting things that I now see have been mentioned in this forum. However, the errata are scattered across multiple posts here, so it is hard to find a complete list.

Thus, I created a unified errata for the eBook on the Scala wiki (http://scala.sygneca.com/start)

Programming in Scala errata: http://scala.sygneca.com//language/programming-in-scala-errata

I did not copy errata from some of the posts on this forum (i.e. Eric Willigers has posted some detailed errata), since I did not write them up. I would be nice for others to use the wiki once questions have been resolved here.

Hi David,

Just to let you know, when you now click on the Suggest link at the bottom of the page of the eBook, it will show all other comments that were previously made about that page. This was something several people suggested, and it is now deployed.

And to everyone a request. Please use the Suggest link at the bottom of the eBook pages to submit feedback. It is really helpful to us, in part because it is all in one place. Posting comments to this forum, or emailing us, or putting them on the errata page, means we will have to go chasing comments down from multiple places. We appreciate feedback in any form, of course, but highly encourage folks to use the Suggest link.

We will by the way have an errata page on Artima for the book once finished. We don't have one for the PrePrint's because the contents are in flux. Now that you can see others' comments when you click on the Suggest link, on a page by page basis, I think that should solve the problem David was trying to address with his errata page.

Thanks.

Bill

We appreciate seeing the comments for each page - thanks. I still think the wiki is a nice way to unify the comments. Many of the comments you have archived are repetitive. For example, look at all the duplication on http://www.artima.com/backtalk/talkback?n=119&v=1
compared to http://scala.sygneca.com//language/programming-in-scala-errata#p-119

I do agree that people should be sure to formally file suggestions on artima.com via the Suggest button.
