1) If you're interested in helping with this project, put your name in
the team members table.
2) Any information/ideas you have about the book, place on that page.
3) We need to extrapolate the timeline on there. I'll be putting in what
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

:) Thanks to everyone else, too.

Sweet, thanks! I'll talk with some people to see what kind of budget we
can get -- odds are, POD is the way to go for our budgeting purposes,
but I haven't a clue.

Alright, thanks for all your help.

Doug, I think you could add a list of potential publishers, with some
pros- and contras- for each, it looks like you are the best informed in
this area and such a list may be of help in order to reach a decision.

Definitely, this would help a lot.

Okay, I am working something up
I am trying to get bids (estimates) from a few
people - ball-park figure kind of things - so
we can compare them and see where we stand.
So far I've heard nothing - must be the time
of year, everybody is gone or leaving.

Definitely keep Lulu in mind for this - there are some really great
people working over there.
