[FM Discuss] books and fm - need your thoughts!

[Seth Woodworth]

Sure, I don't have final arbitration on this project.  Few projects at OLPC
are decided completely by mandate.  My point was to bring up an issue with a
potential structure problem here at FM.

If I were the top maintainer of the OLPC documentation project here at FM,
and paid to do so by an external organization, how would this work and fit
into the payment structure proposed here at FM?  It appears now that FM is
likely to avoid the issue anyway with what direction adam seems to be
heading.

Let's not discuss your complains with my comments in this thread.
