 I'd nominate someone like Andrei, he's got the experience with this stuff.


You mean like paper books...? Eww.

Nah, these days killing trees is optional
so it would probably rather be a PDF file.

But the book still has to be written first.
(printing HTML specification doesn't count)

Sometimes I do find it funny that they still make paper computing-oriented
books.  Think of all the trees that die doing that.  But I agree, any
decent book, possibly practical example driven.

P.S. For any who knows Lisp, Practical Common Lisp was an amazing book.
Something like that for D would be sweet.

Hi guys,

My name is Jason Gilmore, and I'm Apress' open source editor. We'd love to work
with you guys on a D book. In fact, we're the publisher of Practical Common
Lisp. :-)

Also could be a multi-author project, and we also publish several books under a
variety of open source licenses, GFDL included (Dive into Python, The
Definitive Guide to Qmail, and Pro Django among them). Regarding the
paper-versions, while we still publish those old-fashioned things (lots of
them), our e-book program is also quite strong and growing all the time.

At any rate, I hope to hear from you guys, feel free to e-mail me at
jason apress.com.

Jason
