Comment (by jscipione):

 We can and should hyperlink to the BeBook where appropriate, I have done
 it in a couple of places. The problem with this long term is that the
 BeBook has errors which we cannot fix, so, we really need a replacement
 that we are allowed to modify. It doesn't do a lot of good to link to
 something that is wrong. Also, the BeBook is really starting to get out of
 date to the point where information it is either missing or no longer
 valid since we've added or changed something in Haiku (for the better,
 almost always).

 If somehow someone can convince Access, Inc. to license the BeBook under
 conditions that would allow us to incorporate the text into a derivative
 work that would allow us to pull in useful parts.
