So I would love for you to start as author but want to be sure it's okay that the license is such that we're sharing those chapters with Pearson for a larger book. The outline is <a href="http://etherpad.openstack.org/EssexOperationsGuide" target="_blank">http://etherpad.openstack.org/EssexOperationsGuide</a> for the operations part, and Doug Hellman and I have worked on an outline for the "Developing" part at <a href="http://etherpad.openstack.org/PythonDevBookOutline" target="_blank">http://etherpad.openstack.org/PythonDevBookOutline</a>. The two together comprise a book proposal for Pearson. </div>
