Make that Erlang/OTP recipes with a strong emphasis on the OTP side of it, and a million times yes !&lt;p&gt;Or to say it slightly differently : I&apos;m not that much interested in recipes about the Erlang language itself, but I&apos;m very very interested in recipes/examples of architectures of actual Erlang/OTP softwares.&lt;p&gt;I&apos;m doing mostly Python these days, but I worked on a couple of side projects in Erlang in the past (a large one ~3 years ago, and a small one ~6 months ago). And for me the hardest was (and still is) to figure out how to use the OTP behaviors in an optimal way. How to make a nice, working supervision tree.&lt;p&gt;I managed to pull working stuff out of the ground, but somehow it never fell OTPish. I couldn&apos;t tell if I did it right or wrong.</text></comment>

You might consider using StoryFunded (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.storyfunded.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.storyfunded.com&lt;/a&gt;) for this.&lt;p&gt;Our site lets authors raise funds for promising book projects. Like Kickstarter it&apos;s all-or-nothing where contributors only pay once the goal is met. If the goal is met authors receive the raised funds, minus 5% and processing fees. We&apos;ve just went live, and our biggest challenge now is finding book projects people would be interested in funding. This may be such a project :)&lt;p&gt;&amp;#60;/plug&amp;#62; (sorry! :) )</text></comment>
