Of course. I wouldn't like too many errors in a Gambas book :-) But the lack 
of complete documentation make being reliable difficult!

Do you know what a mailing-list is ? :-) Now more than 450 people know that

Good. But you must be clear about what you are doing:
- Will it be a real book or just a electronic one ?
- Will the content be free (as in 'free speech') or not ?
- Do you want to write the book alone, or do you want collaboration ?

Best regards,
