In related news, I'm under contract with O'Reilly to write a few of these 
"mini-books" over the next few months. O'Reilly is calling them "booklets" 
internally --- they're all about 50 pages, about $10 a piece, and fit 
somewhere between a long chapter and a short book. 

With fellow Pythonistas Titus Brown and Grig Gheorghiu. we'll be writing a 
series of booklets called "The Web Testing Series", focusing on tools and 
techniques for testing web apps. Of course, we'll be using Python tools 
for most of the examples. I'll be focusing on my testing tool, Selenium. 
Our first "booklet" will be focusing on how to functional test "AJAX" apps 
with Selenium and Python.

You might notice Titus's and Grig's name if you're a regular reader of 
planetpython.org. Titus wrote a tool called "Twill", and Grig is the 
author of "Cheesecake", a Python-package tester, and frequently blogs 
about all thing testing.

Cheers,
