Subject: RE: [opencsa-ms] SCA/SDO book project


 
Hi Patrick,

I noticed that your ToC did not include any refs to SCA Policy...are
you excluding it by design or relegating it to just a part of the "SCA
Concepts" topic?  Personally, I feel that it merits distinct and
proportionate treatment.

(I'd be happy to contribute material on the topic of "SCA Policy", but
if others more qualified (from the core SCA Policy team) decided to
participate, I'd certainly defer to them.)

Cheers,
BobN

My timeline is flexible, but I think it's a good time to start - based
on presentations that I've made there are real SCA projects starting. I
don't have a lot of free time (like everyone) but now is as good later.

I'm open to different publication/distribution options.  Not trying to
get rich on this, just to get the info out.  But I Rogue Wave may also
be able to help with working with a publisher - sometimes having a
corporate sponsor can help.  Other means like CC, blog/rss/wiki, e-book
are worth considering as well.  We could also do a serial publication
(like Stephen King's "The Green Mile"
http://www.amazon.com/Green-Mile-Stephen-King/dp/0671041789)

I haven't heard of duplex book.  I read the link below but I have to
confess that I didn't quite get it.  What does it do and what are the
benefits?

Mike Edwards expressed interest when he and I talked last year but I
don't know if he did any writing or if he has availability now.  I'm
copying Mike here.

Best,

Patrick

Patrick,

your toc matches our considerations quite well. We will give you
feedback and a proposal on our part by end of week.

But before we have further questions:
* What is your timeline?
* Would it be an option for you to make the book available for free if
you will not find a publisher? We discussed this point and would start
writing irrespectively of having a publisher (but we are quite
confident to find one). If necessary we would opt to publish under
creative commons (or sort of).
* Daniel came up with the idea of a duplex book
(http://www.martinfowler.com/bliki/DuplexBook.html). Any opinion?
* You mentioned Mike Edwards has also done some writing. Do you have
any idea if he is still willing to go on?

Cheers,
Carsten
