New Chapter Authors: Musachy Barroso and Philip Luppens

We welcome Musachy Barroso and Philip Luppens as our first "chapter" authors.

Phil is a longtime member of the WebWork community, and its most active forum participants, with over 1600 posts. Musachy is a relative newcomer to WebWork and Struts, but he has quickly made up for lost time. Musachy worked to extend and refine the Ajax theme for Struts 2.0 and then went on to create the Ajax/Dojo plugin for the upcoming Struts 2.1 series.

A chapter author is responsible for the initial draft of a chapter, including associated code and figures, along with correcting any errata. Should a print version of the manuscript earn royalties, each chapter author would receive a prorated share based on the page count for his or her chapters. Lead editor Ted Husted reviews each chapter to ensure a consistent voice.

A completion date for the manuscript has not been set, but with Musachy and Phil on board, hopefully, we can expect it sooner than never. :)
