[FM Discuss] Please publish "Making Sugar Activities" and add a link to the "Read" page

[James Simmons]

Lachlan,

Fixing the credits page can wait if it has to.  If it is at all
possible, though, I would like to have the book published and listed
on the main page as soon as possible.  While I plan to add a couple of
more chapters to it at some point I think the project as it is now
could benefit from the exposure the front page would give it.  Sugar
Labs could start linking to it from their websites, referring people
to it when they ask questions, etc.

Is there anyone who could do just the publishing and the linking to
the front page while Adam is away?

I don't mean to sound ungrateful for the valuable services I'm getting
from this site.  In fact I'm extremely grateful.  It's just that I've
put many, many hours into this book and I'm anxious to get something
out the door.

James Simmons
