Why would you promote this so early with a site devoid of content? Maybe it would be better to delete this submission until you have something substantial to show.

To measure the level of interest in the product, I guess. If there are enough signups, he will actually write the book.

From the submission history, it appears that the OP is a fan of docker, so it's likely the site was shared with that in mind, rather than him/her being the author of the linked content.

  Yep I'm just a fan and minor contributor to Docker. Thought it was interesting to see a book so early but I do agree it's probably too early. Docker is changing fast. Version 0.5 should likely be out today.

    Great initiative! I'm a big fan of starting with books when I'm learning something new as they usually have a better narrative and deeper explanation than the docs and 'getting started' guides do. Maybe this could be written using github with pull requests and stuff when things change? Open sourced books rocks. ;)

      If you are looking for an open source docker book, check out https://github.com/kencochrane/docker-tutorial https://github.com/kencochrane/docker-tutorial I'm building a Docker Guidebook, that I hope to release as a free ebook. It is on github, and pull requests are welcome. It is currently written for Docker 0.5. I will keep it up to date, and when we hit 1.0 I'll look at getting some hard copies made, if there is a demand. I still need to pick a license, not sure what is best for a book, open to suggestions.

        CC-BY IMO, as a content license it most closely matches the ASL that Docker is released under.

        I was disappointed when I clicked through to OP's submission. As with the Flynn post yesterday, I'm glad to see at least he's not the only game in town. Unfortunately I am not able to reach github right now. The isup.me site says I'm alone in that. Does anyone else have this problem now?

        Neat! Great to have an ecosystem of content starting to grow. The Creative Commons license chooser is a good way to go: http://creativecommons.org/choose/ http://creativecommons.org/choose/. And their "before licensing" page is pretty good too: http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Before_Licensing http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Before_Licensing.
