-This is The Camping Book, currently a progress in work.
+Camping is a small web framework, less than 4k, a little white blood cell in
+the vein of Rails. This little book will start with a tutorial which takes
+about fifteen minutes - by the end you should have a little Camping site up.
+The following chapters will eventually go deeper into how both Camping, HTTP
+and Rack works.

+("Eventually", because these chapters are not written yet. This book is
+currently a very much work in progress, and we'll be very grateful if you want
+to help out.)
 
-Continue to {"Getting Started"}[link:book/02_getting_started.html].
+If you at any moment need some help or have any questions or comments, we
+highly recommend {the mailing list}[http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/camping-list]
+which got plenty of nice people willing to help. We also have an IRC-channel
+at {#camping @ irc.freenode.net}[http://java.freenode.net/?channel=camping]
+if you're into that sort of things.

+Enough talk. Ready? Continue to {"Getting Started"}[link:book/02_getting_started.html].
