I got a message from Manning today telling me I could get a refund/replacement for IronRuby in Action since it was cancelled. Anyone know the reason why it was cancelled?

I enjoyed following the book''s progress. Thank you for writing it. All the interactions I''ve had as a customer with Manning tells me they''ll do the right thing. I hope we''ll see the book out in the near future :) On Sunday, February 27, 2011 at 11:07 AM, Ivan Porto Carrero wrote:> I won''t go in too deep on the reasons why but in the end I ran out time basically and lack of interest.

[Ironruby-core] Fwd: IronRuby in Action cancelled
I won''t go in too deep on the reasons why but in the end I ran out time basically and lack of interest. The entire explanation is quite lengthy. Anyway I''m finding out who owns the actual IP rights now. But the last time Manning asked I told them that in an ideal situation this book would be a gift to the ironruby community, shared under a creative commons license. if it turns out that manning is planning to make the pdf available for download then fine. if it turns out that I have the rights to the content then I''ll make the raw word documents available as a pdf book. *Met vriendelijke groeten - Best regards - Salutations* *Ivan Porto Carrero* Co-founder & Developer at Mojolly Mojolly Visit us at *www.mojolly.com, flanders.co.nz* We tweet at @mojolly <http://twitter.com/mojolly>, @casualjim<http://twitter.com/casualjim> Phone: +44.7513.233.465 On Sun, Feb 27, 2011 at 5:11 PM, Robert Rouse <robert.e.rouse at gmail.com>wrote:> I got a message from Manning today telling me I could get a > refund/replacement for IronRuby in Action since it was cancelled. > > Anyone know the reason why it was cancelled?

Pity to hear of the cancellation, good luck to your subsequent pursuits Ivan! Having written myself as unpaid "Community Contribution" the Chaper 10, "Transforming a legacy GUI to WPF and IronRuby", I guess I own enough IP on that to hereby donate it (attached) to the public domain. I hope you or Manning will release rest of the book in some form. Robert J.

Was waiting for this book from a long time. But what we can say. Good look to you for ahead. :) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
I was briefly involved at one point too... turns out writing a book is very hard. Thanks for all your hard work Ivan, hope you get to share it with us!
