Distribution of Chapters by Priority

• The table below shows all the chapters that will be completed, as well as their corresponding priority and suggested format.
• To avoid duplicated efforts, once you choose a topic, change the status from "available" to "pending". Once you complete the topic, change the status from "pending" to "complete".
• Make sure you add your name as the author for the chapter once you start working on a chapter.
• Priority in descending order:

• 1=Highest Priority
• 7=Lowest Priority
