Hi John, Hi all: As mentioned by Pete et al, the agreement on an Apache License, should not be a problem for a publisher company. Based on experience no other reason
said that, below some mumbles and personal guessing’s, to your kind consideration • The use of a collaborative tool ( authoring collaboration environments ) to print the result, is your decision. • The main structure of the book as clearly defined by Gert, weeks ago. Three main branches or chapters. • The license and contract that featured authors may sign with the publisher, ( For example : “It is true that author have, and one else has, written chapter number nine” ) shall be written in a formal mode before the publishing. Each author and/or collaborator shall have all the third-party permissions required before he/she presents the paper/chapter. Other authors and companies should be credited, too. • Errata and other classical editorial stuff should be in charge of the publisher. • Designer of the book ( cover, back cover, typography, et al ) should be also credited, and work hand in hand with the leader – this is you – of the printed collab project. • There shall be indicated as footnotes, as an annex, or in the most feasible way, links and or URIs where the reader and consumer of the book, who is the final and most important part of this project, can extend or acquire the information given by our community. • As a tool of single communication between humans, and supported by the wiki , besides personal interests, the printed book should be viewed a gift and a need for the reader or our targeted audience, being us just producers of content delivered. • It shall be both oriented to the expert and the newbie, and those two areas may have to be clearly indicated. • Openness and opened doors to future members , highly recommended, shall be also promoted Your turn.
