Subject: Re: Rejected Ruby book ideas by O'Reilly

information here. Maybe you should rethink you business practices.

To say something about O'Reilly. I had one book proposal rejected two
years ago. The process was very friendly, professional, fast and I was
enthusiastic that they really called me. We discussed the idea and I
could understand 100% that the proposal didn't work for them.

ciao, Oliver
