I actually took much from the wiki :) it had a great set of features outlined that I thought lent towards what is necessary for beginning a turbine app versus what topics seemed more advanced.
I am working in latex (with lyx as my editor) I would be happy to maybe setup the chapters into a cvs repository or something so people could contrib as they like on chapters they feel comfortable working on. I think it would be a great addition to the turbine community as we could pursue a publisher who would be happy with a web version for free and a print version where proceeds could be sent back to the turbine developers or something like that. Turbine seems to be a very powerful set of tools, but due to a lack of good "printed" documentation, people tend to overlook it's potential and claim it is too difficult to use. I was hoping to put together a nice and simple application that would go through the motions of what is needed/what you get from turbine and how it can help you build your apps rather than just listing them point by point and throwing an API in there. I was looking at a simple portal app with some messaging capabilities (project manager type thing) as the sample app to build. not as fancy as scarab :) but something someone could wrap their head around with a book. let me know if anyone is interested and we could get this started as a group project rather than one man's burden. thanks, Jeff Painter On Mon, 15 Sep 2003, Gary Baker wrote: > Jeff, > > I'd be into helping you with that.
