I don't know where this urge to publish under O'Reilly is coming from
and to be honest I think this thread is pretty much pointless. If there
is a chance to publish a Catalyst book (which should IMO be written by
at least Sebastian Riedel and maybe some other developers), then I
wouldn't mind if it has a animal on it, red Addison-Wesley triangles or
the whatever publisher is giving Catalyst a chance.

I know I'd buy it and I agree with you that we should keep advertising
and try to attract more people to Catalyst, but not for the sake of
being asked by O'Reilly to write a book for them. We should do it
because Catalyst is a great framework that really speeds up the WebDev
process (at least for me).
