Some things to think about:

Tone & Style

Writing papers with a uniform tone and style can be difficult even for small groups. As a collaborative writing project expands, goes online, and becomes an international effort, this difficulty increases. Try to remain true to the book’s original style, but don’t hesitate to streamline and clarify text wherever possible – skilled wordsmiths are always appreciated.

Length

Code is not a textbook. It need not be a comprehensive guide to cyberlaw. Choose quality of examples over sheer quantity. Be concise. Eschew surplusage.

Citations

“Creativity always builds on the past,” and it is important to credit that past work.¹

What's the latest? And is that too new?

We're trying to relate recent developments in cyberspace to Code, but we don't want to relate a cyberspace so new that it won't soon exist. Be aware of this careful balance.
