Yep.  My name isnt even listed on the chapter I wrote for the Sol8 
book; just in the list of authors.

Yep.  I made $350 for writing the chapter; they paid me per-page as a
contractor, basically, and I dont get any further royalties.  I'm unlikely
to do this again unless someone asks nicely, and then only for the "cool
I'm published" factor and not as a way to make money.  I can make $350 in
six hours or so doing consulting work locally, and I spent way more than six
hours on the chapter.

Hrm.  SunHELP Press... 8-)

People on the list could write stuff, we could "publish" it in PDF...
