===== Other Stuff: =====
  * First couple chapters should probably have a short [[avrbook:intro]] to electronics, what is a microcontroller, etc.
  * Need to describe how to set up a [[avrbook:toolchain]] on at least Mac and PC.
  * The book needs a companion [[avrbook:website|website]].
  * need a template for contributor bio pages to help the contributors
  * Info about support from [[avrbook:Atmel]].
