Dear Teilo,<br><br>This is an excellent idea but it would need an editor (probably two), to keep the flow going and make the final editing decisions,<br><br>we now have a cooperative within the p2p foundation which aims to produce publications,<br>
<br>perhaps we can discuss here with the community first,<br><br>my feeling is, we should go for it, but the project will need a 'driver' to push it forward,<br><br>Michel<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Mar 12, 2011 at 1:51 PM, Teilo T.

</p><h2><b><font size="2"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Thoughts about the book: <br></span></font></b></h2>
<ul><li> Interesting to read for the common people.
</li><li> The book is written in english, but the content is international - translatable into many other languages.
</li><li> It should be systematic, easy to understand and unified (glossary included).
</li><li> Facts represented are verifiable and come from reliable resources.
</li><li> We could use existing good quality texts (with cc licences) about P2P.
</li><li> A lot of information is represented visually (diagrams) and in tables for easier understanding.
</li></ul>What do you think of such a project? Could the wiki of P2P Foundation be used for it? <br><br>Best wishes, <br><font color="#888888"><br>Teilo T. London<br>
