Ken,
I think our strategies concerning the group are very common. The "style"
proposal covers group spirit and mutual concerns. I've gotta give it a
little more time but then I'll forward it to you. You, Emile and I can
come to an agreed upon proposal and present this as "our" proposal.
I'm excited because there seems to be several other folks that want to
start contributing.
On the note of your O'Reilly connection. That's a sweet deal but even if
it doesn't leed to a contract, I'm all for producing a publishable
document. So, no expectations from me. :)
I'll get the first draft of the proposal to you and Emile by the end of
the weekend.
