I realise it's still summer holidays for many of you, but the 
lack of response to my latest iteration of an outline for the 
book is a bit disappointing.

I'd really like to see some of us get started writing something. 
As you know, I won't be able to do any writing for awhile, and 
I'm dubious how much I can do anyway, given my lack of knowledge 
on the topic. I feel confident tackling Chapter 1, if no one else 
does it, but beyond that... I don't know.

So... will anyone step up and volunteer to draft one of the 
chapters? Even a rough draft would be great at this point. Pick a 
chapter and develop the tentative list of topics into a proper 
outline, with some text where possible and notes for more info or 
needed images, pointers to info sources, anything to start 
filling in the blanks!

Anyone?
