I would do it....but English is not my native language. :-( Perhaps (at a first step) we should create a list of arguments, why the publisher should grant us permission to modify the books content. ...and to be honest: I don't think, that they say: NO ...because: - Meanwhile the book is overaged ...something about 50% - With every new release of Gambas it becomes older and older....and "our" Benoit is a hard-working guy! ;-) - J.R. never updated the book...it's (too???) much work to update it in an one-man-show. - The book is free for downloading. ...reading it, to become an overview regarding Gambas is okay...but, because of its age, it's no reliable reference. ...only a few people would pay for the print. ...so making money with the book is a fading process. ...uuuuuuuuppppppsssss! ...I created a list of arguments! ;-) Greetz Stevie ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Gambas-user mailing list Gambas-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gambas-user
