By the way, I made the suggestion to publish a "concurrency" specific book to Pragmatic Studios, and surprisingly Dave Thomas (of Ruby-world fame: http://pragprog.com/titles/rails2/agile-web-development-with-rails ) wrote back and agreed. He said that he's looking for an author. (See below.) So, if any of you concurrency gurus want to write a "Pragmatic Concurrency" book, email Dave. Plus you're guaranteed to have at least one customer so far...
Feel free to email me if you want to contact Dave. (I don't want to publish his address here due to spam.) *** > I think given CPU speeds plotted against Moore's law is starting to > flatten out, concurrency is becoming a very current topic.

In the end, it comes down to finding the right authors to do the job justice. We'll keep our eyes open.
