[FM Discuss] Recruiting more editors for book sprints

[Tomi Toivio]

I have a public relations question. Anybody put anything about four
simultaneous booksprints in medias like Slashdot? I think that this would be
newsworthy enough to go to front page of Slashdot. The idea of writing four
books in three days is amazing if you think about it from an outsider's
point of view. But the books are there to prove that it actually works! Also
somebody should take the role of adding every important news item to
Slashdot and other similar news sites. Of course the servers might crash,
but that is the price you pay for being popular.

Regards
Tomi
