[CS-FSLUG] Opportunity: Help Write "Snow Leopard Bible"

[Ed Hurst]

Dear List Members:

I received this offer for which I lack sufficient competence. Mr. Black 
would welcome any interest by those who are competent. I've taken the 
liberty of including the proposed chapter outline. If you can do this, 
or know someone who can, please contact Mr. Black.

Hi Ed,

I'm an editor with John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Currently I'm working on 
putting together our Snow Leopard Bible.

The author team for the Leopard Bible is not returning for this one, and 
the new team I've got covering the book is able to cover everything 
except one topic. I need to find someone to write the "Commanding Unix" 
chapter of this book. I've attached the Table of Contents for that 
chapter so you can see what we're looking for.

I found your article, "Leopard as Unix," on ofb.biz, and thought you 
might be qualified to author this.

Best,
Aaron Black
