<br>
I have been working on the Booki User Guide and have encountered several<br>
areas where a user will need to select an appropriate licence for their<br>
content (1- When creating a book, 2- When uploading images, 3- when<br>
publishing a book). As Booki is designed to be used by a wide audience<br>
I think a chapter on licensing is necessary and not only should it<br>
include a description of each licence but also give strengths and<br>
weaknesses as well as describing situations in which you would use<br>
certain licenses and why, enabling a user with no prior publishing<br>
experience to choose the right licence for their work. While I can add<br>
brief descriptions of the licenses, I lack the experience to provide the<br>
extra info that is required to help create a decision making framework<br>
so I am asking for volunteers from the list to help add the licensing<br>
chapter to the Booki User Guide. To do this you will need to have an<br>
account set up with Booki (<a href="http://www.booki.cc" target="_blank">www.booki.cc</a>). The list of available<br>
licenses is given below, Creating a new book and uploading images have<br>
the same options, while publishing has several extra licenses to choose<br>
from making it very daunting for the un-initiated. :)<br>
