Hi guys,

My name is Jason Gilmore, and I'm Apress' open source editor. We'd love to work with you guys on a D book. In fact, we're the publisher of Practical Common Lisp. :-)

Also could be a multi-author project, and we also publish several books under a variety of open source licenses, GFDL included (Dive into Python, The Definitive Guide to Qmail, and Pro Django among them). Regarding the paper-versions, while we still publish those old-fashioned things (lots of them), our e-book program is also quite strong and growing all the time.

At any rate, I hope to hear from you guys, feel free to e-mail me at jason at apress.com.

Jason
