#2I think you could have waited until the book was actually available in some form (either e-book or paperback) before posting it to HN.

#3There are a few missing commas in the bullet points, as well as some unnecessary commas in other locations. That does not instill confidence in a book that promises to teach grammar.

#5Sounds promising, though a little short on the details of what will actually be in the book.
Looking forward to it.
On a related note, here is a nice course from Stanford about scientific/technical writing: http://online.stanford.edu/course/writing-in-the-sciences I picked up quite a few things from there. (If you are pressed for time, you can watch the lectures at 1.3x speedup).

The author likes mixing hyphens, semi-colons and commas together interchangeably. How unfortunate.

#7I'm building Quill, a web app that provides interactive grammar lessons. We are an open source/open content nonprofit organization, and we are working with a team of a half dozen volunteers. We are currently developing collaborative writing exercises, and if you're interested in building interactive education please reach out to me at peter at quill dot org.

Probably just another product/market fit testing landing page. The product won't be created unless N number of subscribers sign up for the updates :)
