<H3><a name="about">About the wxWindows book</a></H3>
-Discussions have been taking place on the wxwin-developers list about
-collaboratively writing a wxWindows book. The concensus is to write a tutorial
-book for people with reasonable C++ experience, with the possibility of including the API reference either in a very compact
-form at the back of the book, or as a separate volume. The book would almost certainly
-contain a CD-ROM with wxWindows and its documentation. It would probably be available
-for free on-line, publisher permitting.<P>
+Discussions have been taking place on the wxwin-developers list
+about collaboratively writing a wxWindows book. The book will
+not include the API reference, though this could be a
+separate project. The book will be accompanied by a CD-ROM with
+wxWindows and its documentation. The book will initially be
+available on-line, and when enough is done we will look for a
+publisher.<P>
+
+There will also be a separate small booklet which can easily be printed
+out and which gives an overview of wxWindows facilities by taking
+the reader through a single worked example. Guillermo Rodriguez
+Garcia has volunteered to write this, and will use his Life!
+demo to illustrate it.<P>
Goals for the book:<P>
So far, the following people are interested in taking part in this project:<P>
<ul>
-<li><a href="mailto:bsimser@home.com">Bil Simser</a>. Bil would like to coordinate
-the book. He's currently writing a book for WordWare Publishing (about his CDX library)
-and also has contacts at Sams and the Waite Group. Bil is writing <a href="http://lightning.prohosting.com/~wxbuild" target=_new>
-wxBuilder</a>, an IDE for wxWindows.
+<li><a href="mailto:julian.smart@ukonline.co.uk">Julian Smart</a> -
+editor and coordinator of the project; introductory chapter, some other
+chapters.
+<li><a href="mailto:guille@iies.es">Guillermo Rodriguez Garcia</a> - Separate tutorial booklet;
+communication classes (wxSocket, wxXXXServer, some protocol stuff); timing and timers.

+We should have a substantial chunk of wxBook done before we approach a publisher,
