I can say for certain, that writing a Lout book is almost entirely
impossible for me to do single-handedly due to lack of time.  Besides
I already have a "book" project on hold for few years, so even if I
have time, I already have a project to sink it in.

But I'll be glad to contribute to the effort if someone takes the
trouble of organizing it, managing the mundane details and doing the
bulk of the "dirty" work.

In .au your only option is to hunt Jeff ;-).

As far as I'm concerned - I think I'd be interested in trying
something like this in a form of informal (heh) "convention", "BOF",
"conference", "beer fest" - you name it.  Finland would be ideal place
(for me), since Helsinki is just some 5 hours by car from St.Pete (not
counting customs), and OTOH it's in the Shengen treaty now so people
from Europe don't have to bother with visas.

FWIW, if things go as planned, I hope to spend my vacation (10-14 days
in August) in Helsinki again, and may be in Stockholm.  So if anyone
is interested in catching me there, drop me an email.

SY, Uwe
