Sounds great! I am just at particles chapter for my book an was not sure 
to include fluid particles at all, it is (was?) quite hard to get nice 
simulations, they tend to explode to often with no (for me) obvious reason.

However, I have not so much real use for them until we have a mesh 
tesselation for them. Suggestions welcome.

BTW: Is there a documentation in one place for all the new particles? 
Even in your blog it is hard to keep track.

See above ;-) Beside us writers I don't think there is much use of them 
at the moment beside self contained demos and some effects, so I think 
it is acceptable to break some old simulations.
