Yes, and I really need another reviewer. The book is for technical managers, 
so it's more business-level than actual tutorial. I would really appreciate 
if you would be a reviewer. The process is that you read the manuscript at 
certain points (first third, second third, complete), and answer questions 
posed by the editors that can help shape the content. There is no editing, 
just general impressions, etc. Your important contribution would be to make 
sure that I didn't miss any projects that should be recommended, and to check 
the technical accuracy. 

It's not a paid job, but it would allow you to develop a relationship with a 
publisher in case you want to do a book later. In fact, this publisher 
(Manning Publications manning.com) is mainly known for Java books, and is now 
getting into the open source realm. They need a bit of help with the 
transition. Once they know that you are reliable, they will probably ask you 
to review other books and book proposals. They also need acquisition editors 
with your expertise, since they are so Java-heavy. That involves thinking of 
titles and getting people to write them, following the process, etc.

Feel free to call me at 968-7802 day or 619-2520 anytime, and I can tell you 
more about all this.
