//Gentle Ruby folk:
//
//I'm hoping to launch a new series of books from The Pragmatic
//Bookshelf. "Facets of Ruby" will a a set of small, focussed, and
//technical books about different aspects of Ruby. And I'm looking for
//folks to write them!
[snip cool things]

this is a noble idea/task. Thanks sir Dave.
We'd appreciate very much if the projects will be posted publicly so we will
know if a project has been taken or not; or is it ok to dup? =)

The way of the book world is that folks sign up to write, then sometimes get sidetracked and don't finish. I don't want the community to look at a list and expect to see the books on it materialize--I'd rather the authors individually agreed before announcing their titles.

Cheers

Dave

Especially the 'Writing Ruby Extensions' part. There still isn't very much material on this subject.
