We've created the following guidelines at a gathering in Oxford and would
like to open it out to remote collaboration this weekend. The end goal is a
leaflet that we'll print out for summer gatherings in the UK.

* 1,200 for the Intro and 600 words for each chapter aka article:  Make it
shorter if you can and accept that some could be longer.
* Articles are self-contained in their own right, bound together by the
introduction.
* Article format ought to be: user story, current practice, software
solution, (optional user story)
* Articles should be introductions, without going into detailed step-by-step
instructions: signposts to the information on the net.
* Articles are limited to being about software technology.
* It's a guide for NGO and grass roots activists.
* Focus should be on helping people to approach these topics, not be
dictatorial nor about scare-mongering.
* Humour and pictures should be used where possible, but not over used.
* Images should be between 200 and 300 pixels wide, get a suitable image
resolution.
* Only use headers for title of the article and sub-headings.
* It will be a PDF.
* Anything we control is under CC attribution licence.  Add licensing info
and sources to the to article itself.
* Add URL references to the article itself using http://tiny.booki.cc/
