OK guys, I really think we should start working on this again
As I see it we've now moved from "glacially slow", to "just sourcejedi, who is glacially slow". I'm happy to continue, and to proofread new stuff from other people, but I'm not a leader :-). I don't/probably won't have a very good of where the book is going, unless I end up re-writing all the current chapters on my own, first.
In other words, at the moment I don't feel comfortable recruiting new people to the project myself, explaining what we are trying to do and how they can help. For now I'm going to keep plodding on. I would welcome a revival, so long as its coherent enough that it gets more written and doesn't just fizzle out.
/me looks for leadership in the Education Team forum.
/me finds the Education Team forum to be dead.
/me swears.
/me wonders idly what "Copyright DV education team" actually means.
Yeah, if Seeker or someone could make an announcement it would attract more people. You'd need to think a bit and work out how we greet the new recruits first though. I think we would definitely need to discuss at the outline of the book (the list of chapters) again, as a group.
Before any announcement you/we should dig out the latest outline, check how far we got with it, and post something based on that - as a starting point for discussion. Also mention how we work, I'd say it should be to post work frequently as forum posts, or as links to Google Documents.
Hmm. Now I've put it into words, maybe I could do it after all. I guess it would depend on the quality of the new recruits though . But I'd rather wait until I've finished my current work on the new Introduction.
