Hi there,

Hope you are good after your holidays. Why not take this opportunity to give
up coffee? Apparently it's not very good for your chi - yin - yang balance -
http://www.travisdharma.com/?p=75 (i'm great on the theory you know!)

On a different tip. I've got a couple of questions for you Adam which I hope
can help us with the debate about the direction of FM and the meeting.

Firstly, forgive me if I've forgotten this. Are you going to keep going with
Booki, and book sprints? And keep leading on the development on that
project. If so how does this effect the FM project and the relationship -
how linked will they continue to be because of that shared software?

In fact - just to be devil's advocate. Say in a year FM decided that for us
books weren't that important, it was the online free software manuals and
the community that we wanted to concentrate on, and therefore if we decided
to move to a new platform, or an existing one maintained by another
foundation - say wikibooks for example. Is that something that you would
want to avoid?

And secondly, would you be up for sharing your own thoughts about what you
think a transition would look like.
Paid worker/s, possible sources of funding, tactics for maintaining
momentum?
I know that it's important that other people get involved and take
ownership, but I think maybe that sharing would help it happen too.

nice one!
Mick
