I think we could get a lot of good contributions from this list - complete projects as well as hints on how to get over the tough spots.
There are a couple models. One would be a book with a single writing style put together by one or two main authors who would integrate their own work plus contributions into a tightly edited book. Another model would be like a compendium, handbook or a conference procedings with chapters written by different authors, though with one or two senior editors who try to keep some coherence. Maybe we can come up with a list of chapters and a "contact person" for each chapter to whom we could send contributions. Then whoever is interested in being a main author or editor could take a look at what's collected so they can make a decision about model one or two. >From my perspective as a more experienced user, I would buy a book focused on more complex topics (cgi, databases, internet comm, externals..) rather than introductory stuff. There are probably two markets for two different kinds of books: newbies who are trying to figure out stacks/cards/groups and experienced users who need to do something complex.

Well, I probably shouldn't have used the term "real-time" in the sense of REALLY time-critical (as in, keeping this airplane from crashing). I mean an almost real-time simulation similar to ones in my project - see graphic at bottom of http://reactorlab.net/intro/index.htm Thus, this is a topic to which I could contribute.
