<br>
The conversation about the books kinda stopped, so I am resending my<br>
outline of the book shop idea for comment. Do I assume no comment = a ok<br>
to trial this? Anyone that has an issue with this or would like to<br>
propose another model please do so now.<br>

* we set up a FM book store<br>
* books are always sold at cost with an optional version available at a<br>
mark-up. This 'profit' is then actually a conscious donation by the<br>
purchaser towards the maintenance of the manual<br>
* any profit on a per-manual basis goes towards the maintenance of that<br>
specific manual<br>
* how any $ is spent is best worked out by either the maintainers and<br>
contributors for that manual or just by the maintainers. Decisions are<br>
by rough consensus. Part of this decision _might_ be to decide to<br>
include a donation to FM.<br>
