Any time that you/we are ready, we can two things:
* take anything anyone wrote and publish it digitally as a journal  
article
* optionally get this peer reviewed
* when we get enough, I will use the journal framework to prepare a  
print article. I have the latex framework from the free software  
magazine that can help prepare for print
http://tinyurl.com/2j9mn6 is an example of a similar style I am  
hoping to adopt for the journal.
* we can pursue having any articles that have been published in the  
journal already, made available for reprint in a book.  I doubt any  
authors will have an issue with this.

I won't volunteer for too much on the book side of things, but you  
all know I'm interested in seeing more books so I'll do whatever I  
can to help.
