Thanks for the feedback guys. The chat I had with the chap was certainly around a full book as I have to pitch 9 - 14 chapters. He did say they are trying to move away from generic platform books so I think pitching it in the style of a look at all the main components and heavy on the real world how-to and use cases would be the way I'm tending to go along with a load of stuff on the value of metadata etc.
We discussed use case ideas and I went over some of the crazy NASA stuff which he said I should include and also a bunch of real world use cases(smart meters/regulatory compliance application and stuff from my day job), but of course, you lot don't live in the real world so you'll have to leave that to me ;) On 1.0 I'm sure it will come out during the time we would spend writing a book. I'll come back with a draft toc tonight or tomorrow and those interested can add their 10 cents.
