For example, from Annes quote :<br>
":I asked about stats at Wintercamp... I think it would help with<br>
<div class="im">decisions and priorities. Prioritizing Online vs Print decisions for<br>
one, is an important question we can answer with stats-keeping."<br>
<br>
</div>This is EXACTLY why I do not want stats. It takes 5 minutes to make a<br>
book...why do we need to prioritise which one gets made? </blockquote><div><br><br>
Ah, okay, this discussion helps. The context of stats at Wintercamp was
specifically to answer questions about improving a readers' experience
with the FLOSS Manuals website. Stats were not to be used to make
decisions about what books to work on or to compare books (or the
relative worth/value of a book.) You can write a book with one audience
member or one workshop in mind and stats don't matter at all before or
after.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
We are not your distribution agent.<br></blockquote><div> </div><div>Ok, that last line speaks volumes. It explains why reader experience hasn't changed much. I can agree with that now that I understand that's your stance. <br>
<br>For the torrent, is it the PDF output only? What are some other examples of HTML distribution? I know the XO laptop is one example, and at one point NGO in a box was using FM content, though I don't know if they still are. I'd like to explore this idea further.<br>
