Delphine uploaded them already to Commons. By the way, you guys may be aware Extention:Book is now activated on several other projects including meta. I tested it and found it has several problems so serious as not to serve the purpose to prepare a readable pdf; wrong selection of fonts and glyphs or just failure of rendering etc. At least it doesn't work for Japanese and I suppose it may be same in other non-European/non-latin-script languages. So I'd like you to test it and file a bug for better quality. ... and here my question: Is Bugzilla the place where to file bugs at this time too?

I'll upload it to commons. As promised, here is a taste of what it will look like. PediaPress is still experimenting with the whole thing and those pics are not of the best quality, but it's a start. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pediapress_couleur_inside.jpg http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tranche_pediapress_book.jpg http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pediapress_hardcover_sample.jpg Cheers, Delphine -- ~notafish NB.
