The Shape of the Book

• Idea One: 100 short essays (< 1000 words?, 500-800 words)
• Idea Two: 99 short essays, and one long piece about 1/3 of the length of the whole pulling together a coherent vision from the parts - I like this one!

Features

• GFDL or similar license
• POD or short print run demanding on shape of demand
• Could be the first of a series
• Web site which has each essay in the book, and some kind of network for navigating between the essays, as well as (critically) connecting with the authors to Make Things Happen
• Openness to projects documenting themselves as book entries
• Translation of as much content and into as many languages as the internet smartcrowd allows

FAQ

The unapproved FAQ can be found on the discussions page. Eventually the official FAQ will be moved here.

Abstracts

(for now, a paragraph-long summary of your idea, and link here. we'll do some more work on sorting out how to process abstracts and submit articles for the book very soon)

(guys, let's move the abstracts to the contributor sections - I think that's the way to do it for now)
