copy it in and then let them know would be my advice...


I was at the session and encouraged them to transfer the book over to 
booki.cc - it's there hidden in its skeleton form at the moment; the 
reason its not there in full was that they didn't want to migrate 
platforms in the middle of a sprint.

Their main reasons for not wanting to use Booki as a platform was not a 
full appreciation of its features - after explanation, everyone I spoke 
to was impressed and wanted to make the move.

I think it would be more beneficial to reach out to the #ddjbook writers 
and community and help them with the migration (teaching them about 
Booki in the process) rather than doing it for them and then consulting 
them after the fact.

Best, Adam T
