    I like the idea, though it's fraught with difficulty

    Someone mentioned other resources (forums), but I think if we had our own we could control the tone so it would reflect the membership and lead to more posts by some of the more "reticent" members. Are such things done on a trial basis? Might be wise, as the range of content will surely be daunting; it could end up being, literally, a library, with all the same logistical considerations-TOUGH!
    It would be asking alot of the administration.

    I don't have any better arguments for it then were already posted above.

    But I would like to say that if Bookworld or Oddworld comes to pass, I promiss not to jump into the next Porn section vote (please, someone remind me to keep my hands off next time it pops up )

    If that doesn't say it all then I don't know what can convince you

    Not really any much more than software, or video, or music.

    things are quiet until hitler decides he'd like to invade russia
    so, he does
    the russians are like "OMG WTF D00DZ, STOP TKING"
    and the germans are still like "omg ph34r n00bz"
    the russians fall back, all the way to moscow
    and then they all begin h4xing, which brings on the russian winter
    the germans are like "wtf, h4x"
    -- WW2 for the l33t

    Jetje, both of your posts have referred to e-books.
    Must the Forum be limited to digital media?
    I'd go blind if all my reading was on this crappy monitor! (I'm still lusting after ShareDaddy's 80 ft. plasma screen billboard...)

    E-books and audio books, yes. At least, this is my impression.

    Here is a small selection of books that Baen is offering.

    If we are lucky, they will keep this idea alive

    P.S. This would look a whole lot better if it was moved to Bookworld

    Really, what's the word from the mod front on Bookworld?
