i can only speak for myself, define enough :) i agreed to work on the book knowing full well it was not going to sell a million copies. i wrote it so the community has an easily accessible resource. > I don't know the authors > personally and I don't know much about the publishing world so it could very > well be another reason altogether. writing the book was a very long and a very exhausting effort, much much more then i thought it would be. when i was done the book was actually twice as long as what was published, but the publisher wanted me to trim it down to keep the cost low... they would have to charge more if the book had more pages :/ the combination of those two things has burned me out somewhat. at least enough to make me want to go play with other things for a while. -igor > >> Here is what I suggest: create a page in Wiki that lists the more >> interesting topics.
