That would be wonderful.  I'll try to put together an outline we 
(and anyone else who can help) can work from, and I'll put it on 
the wiki.

What I've got in mind is somewhere between "Grokking the Gimp" 
and "VB for Dummies(tm)", in terms of tone and audience.  I was 
originally hoping that I could write the whole thing myself so 
Binara would have its name on something concrete (and to make it 
less of a hassle to get printed) but as with the documentation, 
I'm sure it will work better with many people putting their 
heads together.

I would like for it to be available in printed form somehow (I 
know MANY programmers who need some kind of printed reference to 
feel comfortable), and I think we should work out some 
arrangement such that anyone who contributes can get it 
published in his own country, or something like that.  It's not 
that I really want to make money off of it, but that I dearly 
wish to walk into Barnes and Noble someday and see a Gambas book 
among the wasteland of VB ;)
