Sure, I get that. I addressed branding because I was trying to understand collaborating when: * The toolset from FM didn't (or doesn't) meet the needs we have in writing and publishing a textbook. * The brand from FM didn't (or doesn't) meet the needs we have in marketing one or more textbooks to people interested in learning open source participation. You address the second, but it doesn't make sense to do that until you've addressed the first. The problem, of course, is that we failed to keep a record of the discussion and decision around switching tools. We could maybe dig some of it up (IRC logs, for example). We might as well do a current review of the tools. My concern is, we have a tight deadline to do work before end of August. Is a toolset review and switch a good idea right now? Is anyone interested in getting a tool review underway? I think I can enumerate many MUST have attributes fairly well, to give us a place to start from. - Karsten -- name: Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Community Gardener team: Red Hat Community Architecture uri: http://TheOpenSourceWay.org/wiki gpg: AD0E0C41
