[Nelug] O'Reilly books for review

[Daniel Tweedy]

That does sounds pretty cool thing.

Richard mentioned a possible new section on the website for the NLL, 
Richard do you or anyone have any idea at all of what you would like ?

I suppose the best way might be to link it in with forum tables so 
reviews are linked to your forum user id ?

what version of apache/mysql/php is on the site ?
