The initiative is mentioned casually at various points in the series.  In [[HW]], [[Callahan, Dairine | Dairine]] first becomes directly involved with it when the new [[Apple IIIc]] computer purchased by the [[Callahan family]] turns out to be carrying a beta version of the new [[Wizard's Manual | Manual]] software.  Later, due to her intimate relationship with [[Spot]] and the [[mobiles]] she builds and mentors on the [[Motherboard World]], Dairine becomes involved with the [[Earth]]-based "beta group" working on machine-related Manual implementations.
 
 
 
Additionally, in [[TBONWM]], the feline [[Senior]] wizard [[Ehef]] (who works in the stacks at the [[New York Public Library]]) mentions that he is involved in an ongoing project to port the [[Book of Night with Moon]] into the CATNYP master resource catalog at the library (and theoretically further afield as well, as CATNYP is available on the Web via the NYPL's website).
