It is in the interest of the KDE community in several ways: * during the creation of the book various documentation was updated * it is a one-stop solution we can now give to people instead of pointing them to various wikis and so on * we can get these printed and hand them out at tutorials and other events * it can be bought as paper-back (and revenue will go to KDE e.V. to sponsor sprints and so on) * it was a massive effort to write this in 5 days and I think the writers have learned something applicable to our other documentation efforts Cheers Lydia PS: The book is open to editing and I'm sure the authors would appreciate input. -- Lydia Pintscher KDE Community Working Group / KDE e.V. board member http://kde.org - http://about.me/lydia.pintscher >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
