[FM Discuss] revisiting bookipublisher lite

[Michael McAndrew]

Hey there,

I'll have a look at that issue and comment more later on today, though my
thinking has moved on a bit from BookiPublisherLite.

*a script to do this would take a good programmer about 2 hours to write -
thats how we did it at the open spending sprint - wrote it on the spot*

Though I appreciate that BookType is a tool primarily for producing
printed, not online content, it would be great if you didn't have to be a
programmer to make an HTML version of the book you have just published.
