[FM Discuss] Proposed book on Reading and Publishing for Sugar

[James Simmons]

Adam,

No disagreement whatsoever.  In chapters that might be useful outside
of the context of OLPC we'll keep mention of OLPC to the minimum.  If
someone wants to do a book on getting free books for your Kindle or
iPad he'll be welcome to use whatever chapters, etc. he sees fit.  In
the book I propose to do Sugar will be front and center, because my
audience will be educators using the Sugar platform on the XO laptop
and elsewhere.  It is my opinion that this audience needs and deserves
its own book on this subject.
