R help - Mar 2006 - Book: Multilevel Modeling in R ETA?

Hi R folks (Dr. Bates in particular),

In August 2005, Dr. Bates mentioned that the documentation for lme4 
"will be in the form of a book with the working title 'Multilevel 
Modeling in R'" and I'm just wondering if there is an estimated
date of
publication or if it's still a long way off. The Rnews article does a 
great job of introducing the package, but I'm looking forward to more 
detail.

Thank you, Zev

Hello, Zev:

	  Regarding Doug Bates' "Multilevel Modeling in R", I haven't
seen any
replies to your post, so I assume that the author is not ready to 
announce a publication date;  if you've heard anything, I'd like to
know.

	  In the interim, have you seen the vignettes in "lme4" and
"mlmRev"?
If you have not yet worked with vignettes, I encourage you to check 
these out, because they provide an R script file as well as an Adobe 
Acrobat (PDF) file;  each complements the other, so the two together are 
more valuable than either by itself.  (For more detail, see 
"http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/67006.html").

	  hope this helps,
	  spencer graves
