Marc - I don't know if you joined the list but maybe you could tell us a bit more how it could work, what kind of link backs would you want to see. <br></blockquote><div> <br><div>

proposal to update WordPress Flossmanual</font></span></div>
<div><span><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial" size="2">=====================================</font></span></div>
<div><span></span> </div>
<div><span><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial" size="2">I just
finished a fairly long discussion on the Codex about this (see <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Talk:WordPress_Quick_Start_Guide#Need_help_.2F_guidelines_about_commercial_content" target="_blank">http://codex.wordpress.org/Talk:WordPress_Quick_Start_Guide#Need_help_.2F_guidelines_about_commercial_content</a>),
I was directed to a certain Jane Wells from Automaticc regarding a "Wordpress
manual" project, I wrote and haven't heard back, which leads me to assume
that Mick's proposed Flossmanual on Wordpress is where the action is right now,
which I think is a great idea. </font></span></div>
<div><span></span> </div>
<div><span><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial" size="2">My
proposal is essentially to conduct extensive revisions and updates of the
current WordPress Flossmanual (beginner / intermediate Wordpress documentation),
by importing relevant sections of my own WordPress Quick Start Guide:
</font></span></div>
<div><span></span> </div>
<div><span><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial" size="2"><a href="http://wpacademy.tv/wordpress-quick-start-tutorial/" target="_blank">http://wpacademy.tv/wordpress-quick-start-tutorial/</a></font></span></div>
<div><span><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial" size="2">(extensive revisions are being planned due in about 4 weeks)
</font></span></div>
<div><span></span> </div>
<div><span><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial" size="2">The
goal is simple, its to produce the best free WordPress beginner / intermediate
documentation on the planet. We have the tools, we have the will, let's do
it. Everyone stands to gain from this. </font></span></div>
<div><span></span> </div>
<div><span><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial" size="2">My
question is that this is a substantial project, I am a professional WordPress
educator and do this full-time for a living, so for me to invest this kind of
time I would need some fairly prominent attribution as well as a link to my
training services (wordpress webinars) somewhere . This privilege of
course needs to be granted to all the contributors carrying on professional
services, which means there needs to be an arbiter as to prominence / order of
listing etc... it's a bit complicated (and I also don't know if this is in
the spirit of Flossmanuals). </font></span></div>
<div><span></span> </div>
<div><span><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial" size="2">Note
also intersting affiliate opportunities (hosting, commercial themes and support
services), I have no objection to send these to the Floss software
creators, it seems foolish to me to let income opportunities go altogether (as
is done on the Codex) when people have done hard work to put together free
softtware and training</font></span></div>
