Possibility of Flowstone Guide Book?

I was just wondering if there was the possibility of a book on how to use Flowstone ever being written?
Something like "A Guide to Programming with Flowstone".

I know that I would buy a copy!

Have you tried the tutorials?

These are a good start in addition to the two manuals:

I think the question was about good quality book on using FS for practical designs.
I can be editor & publisher. ;-)

I did hassle Trog ages ago about the possibility of dumping his brains into a nice big
glossy book, and we all pretty much agreed to pay for it straight away.
Your idea is a winner tester.....I hope it gets created one day.....big job.....

Did I mentioned, that among other things - I am a writer, translator (1 direction) and publisher? ;-)
Anyway, I mean, that I have some practical experience with that areas.

If a 'user guide' became something that was generated from forum postings ... I would be nice if a post could be 'tag' and placed within a 'Table of Contents' arrangement type of idea. Maybe this is a WIKI concept ... whatever ... but the 'guide' would be ever evolving.

This would need someone with plenty of experience to design/implement. Invaluable ! 8-)

I was rather thinking about well organized book (paper&media - why not?, ebook - yes, website - why not?), split in topics, and formed via some standarized template (in terms of both - content and language level). I think, without effort, it would be no more than 1 year project.
