[Plone-docs] The Plone Book

[Andy M. <an...@ag...>]

Hi,

For those who haven't heard, I've agreed a contract with Apress 
(http://www.apress.com) to produce the Plone Book. That's right we'll be 
getting a complete dead tree book in the New Year on Plone, based on the 
current book.

This is very exciting for Plone not only because it will mean a book to 
help users understand Plone, but there will be a complete set of 
documentation. The resulting book will be open source under the Open 
Publication License and become the definitive documentation for Plone.

The book (name not finalised yet) will be focused at users wanting to 
install, configure, administer and develop Plone sites. The book 
features chapters such as:
- Customizing Plone's Look and Feel
- Workflow
- Performance and optimization
- Page Templates
- Writing products using archetypes

The book will be based on the existing book under the same license, but 
just to make sure I'll be contacting anyone who has committed to the 
Plone book, just to get explicit agreement on this.

So there you go several months of paid documentation writing.

Thank you very much to Apress for this opportunity and I hope you all 
buy a copy ;)
