IMHO, do a new one. That one’s done, what’s next?
ps– I am trying to load your widget onto my blog. Can I say I am starting to hate Blogger?

Sell me a new one. But please don’t erase the past.

You never heard of version control?
Why not put set up a Hughtrain wiki and let us have control of it for a few months. See where it goes?
If you want help doing the set up of this, let me know — I’ll get it sorted for you.

Now many more people ‘Get It’ (Cluetrain, Hughtrain, whatever) yet clueless nevertheless! Start afresh and clue them up, remember your ‘Note to Self’:
NOTE TO SELF:
Your job is no longer about selling. Your job is about firing off as many synapses in your client’s brain as possible.
The more synapses that are fired off, the more dopamines are released. Dopamines are seriously addictive. The more dopamines you release, the more the client will come back for more. Your client thinks he is coming back to you for sane, rational, value-driven reasons. He is wrong. He is coming back to feed.
More Dopamines please!

‘The days of “finsihed works” are dead.’
Great art isn’t finished, it’s abandoned.
To be honest, Hughtrain could be totally reworked and I probably wouldn’t even notice, since it’s not the sort of thing I expect to re-read.
It may be a conversation, but have you never been irritated by conversations that are just too darned long?!
Just remember it’s hip to be square.

Makes me think of the struggle architectural preservationsts & communities must face when community ‘progress’ knocks at their door. Do they raze and start fresh? or try to refresh and repurpose the historical buildings? Complex and delicate problem.
My vote goes for publishing 1.0 “as is” and starting 2.0 fresh. The beauty of writing is that you don’t have to tear down one building to start another. I agree with your collaborators above: you have 3 books begging to be published.
Suggestion: might it be interesting to write Hughtrain 2.0 from a different or point of view? Perhaps the pov of emerging economies? The consumer? The media? … thinking out loud whilst typing here.

Hugh — always follow your nigglings. You’re instincts will tell you soon enough if you’ve made the wrong choice.

The Hughtrain is great and it would be better to do something new. Move on, start again and don’t worry about rewriting.
A blank business card to write on than one that you will rewrite.

You could treat it like a DVD commentary track, leaving the original intact but adding in comments in a different color.

I’d suggest putting updates in using a different color or font. Below the sentence or paragraph you’ve re-thought, put, “October18 06 — Upon reflection, I think___”
Then you can write Hugh Two LOL

As a hacker/programmer, I am always tempted to throw out the old and start fresh, but it is almost always the wrong decision.
How this applies to a manifesto though I am not sure, surely you main decision is a marketing one? How will you reach the most brains?
My guess is you know the answer to that better than any of us!
