Hi Regina, Leo,
I would like to have a go at having a close look at your book. It is
useful for my work here at the University of Amsterdam, both for what I
am doing myself and (hopefully) for setting up a GIS database course
based on PostGIS. That being the case, I don't think we need to go over
the hassle of paying something to the University for something that I
consider part of my job. People don't get paid for writing reviews here.
Next two weeks I have lots of time, as almost everyone is still on
holiday (that's something we have over here :-)). After that I have
reasonable amounts of time available.
I would appreciate, though, if a few other people would go over the book
too. I have been working with MapServer and PostGIS for about ten years
now (and with GRASS since 1991), but of course there are lots of things
I am still not really acquainted with.
Regards,
Jan

We are currently looking for technical reviewers for PostGIS in Action
upcoming book.
Ideally we would like to have one person, but we suspect that is too much to
ask. We have permission to split the book into separate sections and have
each reviewer review each part.
The pay is $2 per page.
Reviewers need to have the following requisites
1) Good expertise in PostGIS is desired or the relevant proficiency in the
selected chapters
2) Ability to test all the code in the selected chapters
3) Ability to point out logical flows in our explanations etc.
4) Not sure how much time we have left, but we are estimating about 3-4
weeks for review. So willingness and ability to finish in that time frame.
If you are interested, please drop us a line off list. Let us know the
following:
a) If you are able to review the whole book or you have specific chapters
you would like to review
b) What time frame you would think it would take you to do that
Topics we are covering are listed here:
