This message was posted by Chris Kimble to the Online Facilitation list recently. It looks like it will be an interesting book! Is anyone here planning to submit a chapter proposal?

Dear all,
I hope that this call for chapters is of some interest to the members
of this group.
------------------------------------
Communities of Practice: Creating Learning Environments for Educators
- Call for Chapters
This call for chapters is for a forthcoming book by Chris Kimble and
Paul Hildreth, "Communities of Practice: Creating Learning
Environments for Educators" which is to be published in 2007 by
Information Age Publishing Inc. Details of the book and a full
version of the call for chapters can be found at:
http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/mis/CLEE/Call_for_Chapters.html
The aim of the book is to bring together the expertise of people who
have worked with Communities of Practice (CoPs) in authentic
educational settings across the world in a convenient, internationally
based, workbook for people in the field of training and education. It
is anticipated that this book will act as a resource for practitioners
and academics that work in the field of CoPs and education.
Prospective authors are invited to send a 500-word outline of their
chapter, by e-mail (Word document or plain text), to Chris Kimble
<kimble@cs.york.ac.uk> by May 26, 2006. The outline should clearly
explain the content of the proposed chapter and suggest a theme and
section under which it might appear in the final book.
