I found out why the first round of edits seemed really light

It turns out that the technical editor doesn't look at how badly I've written things, but instead looks at the content and form of the chapters. Now that I've made it to the copy editing stage, I feel quite a bit better knowing that my writing has gone through both steps. All of the pages I've gone through so far have as many edits as shown below:

Massive amounts of copy edits

You and I both!

The penciled-in schedule has the first round of edits completed by the end of this coming week. Once that happens, then they'll deem it good enough for Rough Cuts and they'll go through the process of posting it there.

Quick side note: tri-color (err...grayscale) syntax highlighting by hand takes at least as long as you might think.
