Please enable me (account name = tjyang) to be able to check in. I like to 
contribute some documenation stuff also.

I printed out all the hobbit manpages and bind them together as a book.
but no TOC,indexing,poor print quality etc make me decide to learn latex 
convert all the manpages into latex.

The quality of this book is in alpha stage better than the raw print out of 
manpages.

You can see the book here

I will clean up the code the book source in once I have write permission.

I have no interest to copyright it(not contribution really,just some labor 
work). let me know or modify the copyright terms.

Overtime, I will put in more time on the programming side so I won't waste 
my past C.S. training.
Chap 17, is my effort to formalize the hb message protocol using BNF. the 
second time I use it since I took programming language class years ago.

Cheers
