Emilian: Efforts al almost done thanks to the dedicated work don past months by the community. Of which non of us get paid for that, either because of it is part of our daily procedure, either because it is in the nature of human beings to help one each other. . The leader of this project, named printed and digital book [ physical object ] should unify and resolve any difference in style , allowing each author to write and collab without restriction. We are all adults and this is not a personal project, but a community driven project.
Every author must know the limits, characters, and styles the book requires. Before she/he sends or writes one sub chapter. The book is a companion ,a gift, to a community and to an audience. In writing a book, besides the legal property rights, which method of license you may know if you ever have signed a professional contract with a software development company. Not sure if “bumby” defines a great and crafted piece written by a collection of experts . Josh: There is also pending the offers of translators, I guess Chinese mandarin, german, Spanish are on the way. Cheers Some of the chapters proposed and defined by Gert, are already covered and written in past efforts.

How much time does a book generally take (I know, it's not an exact science, but any time range helps)? If we publish a book as a group we should think about the fact that the tone / style of each chapter might come out differently. Perhaps the editor takes care of unifying this? Also, some people might drop out. I assume there is no real money to be made in books, correct? I also doubt it makes much business sense even as a self-promotion, so it's more a labour of love. --emi ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ On 17 July 2018 11:58 PM, Josh Juneau <[email protected]> wrote: > I've just briefly touched base with Apress on the idea and the editor I spoke > to sounds very interested.
