[FM Discuss] Pretty good PDF for Make Your Own Sugar Activities!

[adam]

i think booki is not for nanosecond-ness only :)

you can also use it to go slow, and do everything by yourself if you
want to

its also for keeping books alive...keeping them online and in an
environment where people can add, improve, fork etc...

there are many faces to booki ;)
