RE: Long live WROX. Dave is optimistic about our Wrox Chapters. We received an e-mail over the weekend stating that we should wait a week or two to see how things shake out. My guess is, if we wait, nothing will come. Just a hunch. I've seen a lot of empty promises in my career and this definitely feels like one. I really, really hope it's not though. Thanks to all for the encouraging words about this book - I hope you can read it someday, and I also hope I can get a kickback from neglecting my wife and child through the Christmas Holiday. If all else fails, at least I won't be so excited about writing a book next time (if there is a next time) and maybe I'll learn to just say no.

This sounds like a great idea! I was hoping all the hard work was done for my chapters though, and I'd like to find a very easy way to get them published without having to do any more work. They <em>were</em> on their way to the printing presses, and I was hoping to just wait and read the book when it came out. Have you had much interest from other folks?

Its trickling in.. Everyone is still watching the war instead of reading my blog. Already have a volunteer to help write the site. What format is your book in?

We were required to submit our chapters in MS Word.

Yuck.. But I'm sure we can get it converted to XML. I might know a thing or two about that ;-).
