Hi Damir,
It was nice to meet you at the workshop, and thank you for volunteering for
this effort.

I would like to contribute a chapter. Specifically, I could write about "An
Interactive Session" or  "I/O and Persistency". I will start with the
content and hope it will be worth converting to the format of choice.

Let me know which chapter you would like me to write, and when you would
like a first draft.

Cheers,
Suzanne
