Sounds good.

If anybody has any mockups they wanna go for, please submit
them. Or any ideas at all for page design. I'm all ears :D

I've got a roadmap in my head somewhere without any dates on it. From
what I've learned in the past few months on this list, here's what I
envision, in some sort of vague order:

* Approve mockup of page designs
* Compile images and stories
* Place images and stories in book
* Proof stories for typography and content
* Pressure FPL to write foreword
* Approve photo placement
* Create index of people in back
* Other last-minute checks
* CMYK-ify PDFs
* Publish
* ???
* Profit!

No way in hell we're getting this done by F11 so F12 Beta is my target
for being published right now.
