We're working on fixing that for you

July 1, 2010 11:17 AM

Some of us are working on a collaborative non-fiction book project. If you'd like to contribute, MeMail or email me a brief description of what specifically you are planning to do and provide a email address so I can include you in the group emails. Visit the project blog for more details. Deadline is October 1st, but I thought I'd post in MeTa once a month in an effort to make sure everyone hears about it and to keep the project on the radar screen of those who do know.

I don't think this is what MeTa is for.

It was suggested in MeTa a few months back. So actually, I'm glad it got posted here because I had lost track of the collaboration.

I find that picture of a plate of beans viscerally unpleasant and could not read the site as a result. Just sayin'.

Not this.

Does anyone have any more topic suggestions?

I have more topic suggestions.

I'm glad you posted this. I didn't know about it. I'm gonna think about it.

Thanks for the reminder, actually. I made a good start but got distracted by the rest of life. Also, let me know if you want a proofreader when you get the collection put together.

I like that picture of beans because it's so perplexing. It looks like beans dumped in a urinal, or a humidifier, or something.
Cant -- stop -- thinking -- about it.

Ditto on the proofreading and/or editing.

Ooooh! Count me in - I'll think of a topic.

Again, if you're interested in helping out or contributing to the book, please email or MeMail me.

Not to be a martinet about this, but I'm asking people who are committed to contributing to email me and tell me what specifically they are prepared to do and to provide me with an email address, not only for organizational purposes, but as a way of differentiating those who are really on board from those who aren't.

I just came across this, and I'm going to think about it. Very cool! I'll memail you orange swan if/when I get to the topic commitment part.
