I am not saying that it is easy. What I am saying is that class notes can become a 1st edition and a 1st edition can become a 2nd edition.
Consider trading fortune for fame. A niche author can start with a ($10) pdf download for cult readers having a duplex printer and a 3-ring binder. --Bill -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Brian Leach Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2007 1:28 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: RE: [U2] MultiValue TextBook So Bill > Just... write the book in say Word, and zap it into Adobe. > There is a (Xerox ?) commercial on TV about publishing a book this way. > There is a (Nike) commercial on TV about... "Just Do It". Since it's so easy, we'll await your publication... personally I find it takes me weeks to write a single article, knowledge base entry or such. In fact, I've just spent weeks putting together a guide to writing your first U2 application for the learner pack (being reviewed right now). that's only 80 pages or so, and just scratches the surface. U2 technology is so wide-ranging, it's a huge ask to write something that really captures it. Or you end up with something miserable like the Microsoft learner guides. The reality is that these things take a huge amount of time, effort and money. Which is unlikely to be rewarded. How many on this list have even offered to write anything for the knowledge base? Not many.
