If you are interested in contributing a Book, but don't know what to write, here is a list of ideas, just grab one and write it! (Also some basics about Books and HOW to contribute them)
If you'd like to contribute a Book about umbraco, first come up with a descriptive title, decide on the appropriate Type and Version, and compose a brief description. Right now you will not have an easy way to edit details about the Book itself once you set it up, so give it some thought before you do. All the chapters you contribute you will continue to have access to through LiveWriter to make changes and resubmit at any time.

This can include basic information about whether the Book requires a certain package to be installed, or what is included in the Book.
You need to Register for an umbraco Books account before you can create any Books. The password you choose will be used for each subsequent Book you write. A new username (consisting of your base username and the nodeId of your Book) will be generated for each Book you write. After you have Registered, you can Create as many Books as you like.
