It's cool that someone is writing a book about Docker, but I think its too early. At this stage there are new features added every month, so once the book comes out several of the features might not work the same way anymore.

Hi - I'm the author. It is very early. But the book won't be published until Docker is 1.0 at least. The site is there to gauge interest and provide a bookmark for people to suggest ideas on content.

Why would you promote this so early with a site devoid of content? Maybe it would be better to delete this submission until you have something substantial to show.

To measure the level of interest in the product, I guess. If there are enough signups, he will actually write the book.

From the submission history, it appears that the OP is a fan of docker, so it's likely the site was shared with that in mind, rather than him/her being the author of the linked content.

If James happens to see this I'd be interested to know what tool chain he uses to produce his books (I don't think the OP is the author right)?

I write mostly in Markdown using VIM or IAWriter with a scattering of LaTeX for some complex formatting. I have some Rake-based automation that hooks into pandoc to take the content and generate PDF, ePub, Mobi, HTML etc formats. You can see an example of the finished product in the sample chapter from one of my other books: http://www.logstashbook.com/TheLogStashBook_sample.pdf.

Please let it include DocBook.
