I noticed you had to update the date in your AMD64 technotes main file after your changed one of the book parts.
FYI, this not required anymore.
You can have a date and a version element in each book part and the latest date will be displayed automagically thanks to some xslt voodoo.
This way, you need only update the date of the files you actually change.

This would also be appreciated by translators who find the technotes worth translating (done in French).

Your book and its files can be listed in our overview.xml and non-English tables show versions from both languages when available, e.g.
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/overview.xml
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/fr/overview.xml
