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
