Speaking of paper...is there a way that we could make sure that the book was printed on as much recycled paper as possible?<br><br clear="all">=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=<br>Jason<br>aka, Axelilly<br>Catch me on gchat or Jabber<br>

I would also go paperback it seems to be conciderally more affordable. However it seems to have a bad habbit of falling appart.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/1/16 Ian Weller <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ianweller@gmail.com" target="_blank">ianweller@gmail.com</a>></span><br>

</div></div>With the current state of the economy and everything I want to make<br>
these books as affordable as possible to the consumers.<br>
<br>
I think paperback with color pages is the way to go. But we can vote or<br>
whatever on that later.<br>
<br>
More importantly, we need to decide the requirements for photos in the<br>
book. Nicu, can you help us out on that?<br>
<br>
Also I'm getting prepared on how tos on uploading photos to the wiki,<br>
release forms, etc. Once that's ready to roll, we'll have a process<br>
worked out for contributing your photos and stories to the book.<br>
