Hello,
Walter and I got asked by Packt Publishing about advertising
Adam D. Ruppe's "D Cookbook" on http://dlang.org/ or
http://wiki.dlang.org/Books. They'd be paying 2-5% of the
royalties depending on the ads' prominence. I estimate that
would be low in absolute numbers, and would probably go toward
defraying our hosting costs.
I wanted to ask the community how they'd feel about this. The
ads would only advertise Adam's book and we'd have leeway with
format and size.
Thanks,
Andrei
I see nothing wrong with this as long as the ad doesn't spy on
people or link to anything objectionable. It's appropriate
advertising.
