+Discussions have been taking place on the wxwin-developers list about
+collaboratively writing a wxWindows book. The concensus is to write a tutorial
+book for people with reasonable C++ experience, with the possibility of including the API reference either in a very compact
+form at the back of the book, or as a separate volume. The book would almost certainly
+contain a CD-ROM with wxWindows and its documentation. It would probably be available
+for free on-line, publisher permitting.
+
+Goals for the book:
+
+
+- to allow users to become accomplished wxWindows developers rapidly;
+
- to be useful over a longer period than just the first few weeks, since
+there are a lot of complex areas to address and not all features will be
+used up-front in a project;
+
- to promote wxWindows to a wider audience;
+
- to make at least some money for the authors.
+
+
+
+
+Audience: beginners + experienced wxWindows users, but with reasonable C++
+knowledge.
+
+It is suggested that any financial return from the book be allocated on a points system,
+with a predefined number of points for chapters, indexing, editing, proof-reading etc.
+
+
+
+
+
+So far, the following people are interested in taking part in this project:
+
+
+- Tom Ryan, SciTech Software.
+
- Robin Dunn. Chapter on wxPython.
+
- Matt Heck, SurveyorCorp Inc.
+
+
+ - a case study of how and why we've used wxWindows at Surveyor Corp., and
+ how it's worked out so far;
+
- an appendix something similar about how to use wxLIVID for video capture and display;
+
- proofreading
+
+
+ - Julian Smart.
+
- Vadim Zeitlin.

+Hi Guys,
+
+I just wanted to let you know that I have spoken with officials here
+at California State University, Chico and they are potentially
+interested in publishing a book on wxWindows! A wxWindows
+book would give wxWindows a great deal of exposure.
+
+These discussions came out of the fact that CSUC wanted to
+switch from MFC to wxWindows in their GUI programming classes,
+but there was not a book available for students to work with.
+
+I was thinking that the first edition could be primarily the reference
+documentation combined with a basic wxTutorial and examples. In
+this case, it would be fairly straightforward to get something out
+initially and then we could take it from there.
+
+
+
+
+Ben Allfree has also expressed an interest
+in publishing a wxWindows book, and distributing it via Amazon. Ben was thinking
+in terms of a quickie job using the existing reference manual.
+
+Another publishing name to think of is O'Reilly. They would probably give us a lot
+of guidance for style, formatting, etc.

+
+- Chapter on converting from MFC. (Julian Smart)
+
- A chapter on why some inconsistencies are almost always going to show up in a
+multiplatform toolkit, how to avoid them, how to deal with when you have
+no choice, and (if wxBook explains the internals or philosophy of
+wxWindows at all) how wxWindows attempts to minimize the number we
+encounter. (Matt Heck)
+
- Creating the shortest possible path to writing "Hello World" from scratch in wxWindows. (Matt Heck)
+
- How will royalties for subsequent editions be shared out? (Tom Ryan)
+
- "My personal feeling is that this project will wind up being developed
+by a small team, led by an editor that will wind up doing about half
+of the total amount of work." (Tom Ryan)
+
+
+
+
+
+
+This depends partly on the publisher, but one possibility is to target Word but have
+submissions in a number of formats including Latex. We should eventually write a style
+and formatting guide.
+
+
+
+
+
+This is open to suggestion.
+
+Last year, Mike Lorenz of VisionX
+suggested this
+tutorial outline, which could
+be a good starting point.
