We've created the following guidelines at a gathering in Oxford and would like to open it out to remote collaboration this weekend. The end goal is a leaflet that we'll print out for summer gatherings in the UK. <br>
<br>* 1,200 for the Intro and 600 words for each chapter aka article: Make it shorter if you can and accept that some could be longer.<br>* Articles are self-contained in their own right, bound together by the introduction.<br>
* Article format ought to be: user story, current practice, software solution, (optional user story)<br>* Articles should be introductions, without going into detailed step-by-step instructions: signposts to the information on the net.<br>
* Articles are limited to being about software technology.<br>* It's a guide for NGO and grass roots activists. <br>* Focus should be on helping people to approach these topics, not be dictatorial nor about scare-mongering.<br>
* Humour and pictures should be used where possible, but not over used.<br>* Images should be between 200 and 300 pixels wide, get a suitable image resolution.<br>* Only use headers for title of the article and sub-headings.<br>
* It will be a PDF.<br>* Anything we control is under CC attribution licence. Add licensing info and sources to the to article itself.<br>* Add URL references to the article itself using <a href="http://tiny.booki.cc/">http://tiny.booki.cc/</a><br>
