we need to get done in a week according to today's
meeting.
Hey Ian,
Your some kind of dynamo, fella. And I would
love to work on this project. That is the one concern
I had at first, is finding others who would be dedicated
enough to follow through and do what is necessary to
create a quality product. I have no doubt now.
Love what you did with the wiki page. Clear, concise,
and to the point. I added my name, but I couldn't
think of anything I would have added that you had not
already included.
I know a dozen or so publishers, dido for printers,
but I mainly work on fiction books. Most publishers
I know only deal with commercial quality books that
have a shot at making them money. I'm not sure our book
would generate much interest from this group. But I
can get us some quotes for services, and prices for
print runs, for comparison if nothing else.
Then there is POD. But I don't think we need a POD
Publisher, when we can go right to Lightning Source
ourselves. I already have an account with them, but
I haven't used it in a couple of years.
Anyway, I logged-in and asked my guide for current
prices and details. She is going to send a bunch of
stuff in the mail. But I also asked for a breakdown
via email, which I should have by this weekend. I'll
contact you when I know something.
I wasn't available for the Mkg meeting today. I volunteer
on Wed and Thurs, but I am going to be around most of
the day tomorrow. I'll keep Xchat open to #fedora-mkg
and if you are around, maybe we can bounce ideas off
of each other. Seeya, Doug
