I think your approach is commendable, and perfectly reasonable in terms of openness. One thing I might suggest is to add a sticky page of some kind to your blog, which has the same structure as your book TOC on it, and links to the relevant blog posts for each “chapter”. This way it’d be easier to find/browse the info on your blog. _______________________________________________ dev-b2g mailing list dev-b2g@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-b2g
