[erlang-questions] Book: Hardcore Erlang

[Joel Reymont]

I signed up with Pragmatic Programmers to write a new Erlang book.

Working title is Hardcore Erlang and it will be built around  
OpenPoker. The emphasis of the book will be more on showing how to  
write scalable Erlang servers and less on how to write a poker server.

Apart from the following topics, are there any other topics you would  
like me to cover?

	Thanks, Joel
