While working on Inqlude I realized that the presentation of the framework 
still needs a lot of love. A book could be a great part of that. I would hope 
for something which gets people started, provides them the entry points and 
background they need, and contains some practical examples how to work with 
the frameworks. Especially examples could also get a life on their own and be 
maintained and used beyond the book as introduction for people starting to use 
the frameworks.

I would be happy to help with this effort and will sign up for the meeting 
now.
