Hi :)
Please could we try to keep discussions on the right lists? When something is
relevant to the documentation team we could just forwards the thread to the
documentation team for them to discuss.
Of course the docs team are interested in getting the guides out to as many
distribution networks as reasonably possible. Also they are likely to be in a
better position to decide how to make it possible. Of course the marketing
team can try to make all the decisions for them but this list might not be
aware of details. Details that the documentation team might have factored in
if they had been allowed to discuss it themselves.
Delegating is a good way to manage a project.
Regards from
Tom :)
This thread is all about Lulu and a suggested distribution process, and
does not involve documentation. Documentation does not produce printed
books nor, thus far, e-books ... which Lulu does (no ebooks except for
one I believe).
Also, ODFAuthors manage the Lulu.com account and not the
TDF/LibreOffice. I believe that Jean is the contact person with Lulu.
ODFAuthors have been extremely generous in offering back to the
community profits from the sale of the paperbacks.
So far, I have not mentioned anything that comes from the Docs team.
Seeing from KJ's note about e-books, yes, if the docs team gets into
offering e-books, then we could then ask if Libraries could offer
e-books. However, at this point, the only product available, which we
could help in promoting, are the on-demand printed products from
Lulu.com. Most Libraries still offer printed text books and most school
board still look seriously at printed text as most classrooms are not
outfitted with personalized "at every desk" computer device.
So, I don't think the docs team need to be involved here at this point,
other than our giving them thanks for their on-going commitment to
completing the guides, which, without this, would not be available in
print at Lulu.com. We could later let the docs team know that we have a
process where we will try proactively to get the printed books into
libraries.
We can promote ebooks when they arrive, and, to our user base. Libraries
will only need to be told of the accessibility of ebooks and really not
require any follow-up except for the occasional check to see if the
ebook version has been updated.
Cheers,
Marc
