This arrived in my mailbox today:

Congratulations! We’re ready to move ahead with your project.

The project in this case is a book called Beautiful Testing that Tim Riley (Director of QA at Mozilla) and I are putting together for O”Reilly. The vision is that it will have a number of chapter length essays on how tests or testing is beautiful. (Which is a wonderfully vague term to build a book around)

We already have a number of people that readers will recognize signed on who are willing (and able) to participate and will be pinging a few others over the next week or so. Also as important are a number of people whom you might not have heard of have interesting things to say.

Like all books in the Beautiful series (which started with Beautiful Code) all the proceeds from the book goto chartity. Our is Nothing But Nets which provides mosquito netting to malaria infested areas of Africa.

(Good grief, what have I gotten myself into now? 🙂 )
