Requesting feedback on _Programming Pig_ book

As you may know, I am working on a book _Programming Pig_ for  
O'Reilly.  You can view what I've written so far  at http://ofps.oreilly.com/titles/9781449302641/ 
  and leave feedback.  This is updated regularly as I check in new  
sections and chapters.  Currently I have mostly finished the  
introductory chapters and chapters on Grunt and Pig Latin.  Any  
feedback you have will be welcomed.

Alan.

Alan,

I am a program manager in Data Information Quality at Yahoo in Sunnyvale, and my wife works for O'Reilly with their online training (OST). I work with Hadoop and Pig on a daily basis, and could use some additional "author cred" to start writing some online courses for them. Do you need any help or grunt work on this - glad to see them doing a Pig book!

I have done some other writing on Perl, and general Linux administration - mainly training manuals that I also taught from.

Are you local to the area?
