Hi Chris,

My suggestion is that if you have something to share, share it!  The best way
to do this, IMO, is write a page on the Wiki.  This enables you to have
virtually your own web-page without the hassle of hosting or HTML coding.  It
becomes a Ruby resource, and can later be used in other resources (like the
book you're asking about).  The important thing to do is write it down!

If you want to do this I'll give you heaps of advice off-list.

Cheers,
Gavin
