And author clients, we have a new author/agent agreement available. If you’ve signed up under the older agreement you can continue to be represented under those terms or you can “upgrade” to the new agreement. It’s up to you.

They didn't accomplish anything but they did trash the web server. We're back up now and we've tightened security measures. I won't go into details because why draw the vandals a map?

The Book Standard, an up-and-coming online trade magazine about the book industry, does a reasonable job of covering experiments in the online distribution of free-and-unfettered novel e-texts as a means of building an audience, including ventures from entities as diverse as Cory Doctorow and Baen Books. Among those quoted are Cory, Jim Baen, Charles Stross, Tim O'Reilly, and me. I'm particularly glad they used this bit of summing-up:

"Publishing is not about just making a paper copy of a book," says Hayden. "The essential enterprise of publishing is finding texts that audiences want to read and signaling to those audiences that, hey, this is something neat," he says. "Those skill sets are going to be just as valuable with new forms of publishing."

Not as well-put as I might have managed if I hadn't been blathering over a long-distance phone line, but it's a point I find myself making a lot, and I'm glad to see it passed along.

Please drop by and let us know if anything isn't as it should be.

We're still fleshing out some of the content areas, but the site is no longer in the staging area and is ready for signup by locals.

I have some of the expertise in-house but have a checklist of questions I need help with. This is for a pro-bono project but I refer a lot of work to people in my network, so I will try to make it worth anyone's while to help get this client site out in its version 1.0, including full credit and a "partner" listing on the Mediajunkie site.

The CivicSpace installer has gotten pretty sophisticated, but meanwhile we are still in the process of customizing the site.
