In the meantime, we can use publicity about this to spread awareness that we're all about reusing our stuff, and that we would only ask nicely that the books be represented accurately as curated Wikipedia reprints. (This is a breathtakingly generous way of describing them, but I'd suggest being nice to the idea of reprints as we introduce civilisation to the notion of reusability as being the normal order of things.) - d. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
