Authors, ideas? :)

   I think this would be a great idea. I've got some experience writting 
from when I used to teach at college and from a couple of presentations 
I've given to the TLUG group. I'll want to wait until after the first 
actual release though, I should suspect, so that I don't get interest 
and then lose people because I brought their attention to the program 
too soon.

   Thanks!
