AFAIK others who should have been co-authors or should have been consulted were bypassed as you were. and note that it was o'reilly's decision on how they did the book and they are not parrot. so if that helps salve your wound, i am sure you contributions (past and future) to parrot are welcomed and appreciated by the parrot community (pretty much those on these lists) thanx,. uri -- Uri Guttman ------ [EMAIL PROTECTED] -------- http://www.stemsystems.com --Perl Consulting, Stem Development, Systems Architecture, Design and Coding- Search or Offer Perl Jobs ---------------------------- http://jobs.perl.org
