Random thoughts and conclusion about Dbooks
This is a great jabi! I think it will become quite popular.
- You can monetize older posts which are past the 7 day payout.
- You can reach a new audience.
- Someone will need to develop a directory. Automated would be great. Maybe like DMoz used to be. Anyone remember that? It took quite some time to put together the list of books and categories.
- I have a book about Backgammon, I would like to publish here.
Hmm which box are those notes in? (We just recently moved...)- For the developers:
- Export to pdf would be cool. I know there is a php script for this.
- Hats off to you!
- For the developers:
Almost forgot to plug my contest!
