[Booki-dev] Author names and Booki/OBJAVI

[James Simmons]

When I proudly showed off my book "Make Your Own Sugar Activities!"
hot off the presses from Lulu everyone but everyone had the same
question: "Where is your name?"  Well, my name is on the book, and I
have a short bio that goes with it, but the author name is not on the
title page where most people will look for it.

I understand that FLOSS Manuals are in general written by teams and in
such cases nobody "owns" the book.  Fine for them, and fine for me
when I'm doing a FLOSS Manual.  However, we're looking to make Booki
do much more than just FLOSS Manuals.  We're going to have corrected
EPUBs from the Internet Archive, new translations of books, novels,
poems, plays, etc.  All those things need to have author names on the
title page.

Just some food for thought.
