I recently installed Corel Linux and am a complete newcomer to Linux. I
|
|
just read with interest the Publishing LDP Documents section on
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.linuxdoc.org/manifesto.html">http://www.linuxdoc.org/manifesto.html</A>.
|
|
|
|
I have a hobby book publishing business that I run from my home. I use
|
|
high-speed duplexing lasers, plus I own my own perfect binding machine.
|
|
("Perfect binding," also sometimes called "squareback binding" is what the
|
|
public thinks of as paperback binding.) I can produce about 50 copies of a
|
|
typical book per day. My books are as professional as anything you find in
|
|
bookstores. The nice thing about "printing" this way is that I can change
|
|
the text at a moment's notice. I will never have thousands of copies of an
|
|
out of date book rotting in a warehouse.
|
|
|
|
I am interested in publishing some of the LDP documents, but being a
|
|
newcomer I don't know which might be most useful to Linux users. Marketing
|
|
is key, of course. Part of the marketing equation is identifying a product
|
|
that customers would find useful. The rest of the equation is letting the
|
|
customers know about the product and where to buy it (advertising). I could
|
|
use suggestions for both issues.
|
|
|
|
Although I know little about Linux so far, I have strong skills in
|
|
communication, layout and design.
|
|
|
|
I am also interested in working with an author to produce a book for Linux
|
|
beginners, perhaps specifically for those coming from Windows. This is the
|
|
coming wave. The Linux community needs to prepare for it. Documentation for
|
|
new desktop users is going to be in high demand. Worse, if it is not
|
|
available, or not in format that Windows users can digest, they will become
|
|
disenchanted with Linux.
|
|
|
|
Any thoughts or suggestions welcome.
