[FM Discuss] Everything You Always Wanted To Know...

[James Simmons]

Simon,

There is no book of that title on FLOSS Manuals.  Yet.  I wanted to
write a book on using and creating e-books for the Sugar platform used
by One Laptop Per Child.  There is a need, I felt, to have a book that
specifically addresses that topic for *that* audience.  Many people
pointed out that most of my material could be used in a book for a
wider audience, and suggested remixing my book for that audience.  The
title is a joke that would make sense to someone of my generation.

I have to write the main book first before I can do a remix, so right
now all there is is "Reading And Leading With Sugar".  I'm working on
it pretty steadily and I'd be interested in your feedback.
