Re: Re: [Haskell-cafe] Writing "Haskell For Dummies Or At Least For People Who Feel Like Dummies When They See The Word 'Monad'"

A quick search turned up Lulu (http://www.lulu.com/).

From the Lulu site: "Publish and sell easily within minutes. No set-up fees. No minimum order. Keep control of the rights. Set your own price. Each product is printed as it is ordered. No excess inventory."

Looks like they offer hardcover and paperback and are fine with "open-source" books. More info at Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lulu.com On 12/11/06, Kirsten Chevalier wrote:

I think there are some great ideas here, and it would be a fantastic project to do as a community, via a wikibook. I, for one, have been studying haskell for several months, and am just starting to see a little bit of light when it comes to monads. I think it would be beneficial to work through a non-trivial construction of a new monad, and the larger examples given would be good opportunities to do that.

If you (or anyone else who's been participating in the discussion, or anyone else) would like to do a wikibook, that would be great. Personally, I'd like to write / be involved in organizing the writing of a dead-trees book. (In theory, it could be both, but it seems to me like short of being Larry Lessig, there's not really a way to get a publisher to publish something that's already released under a free documentation license -- but correct me if I'm wrong.)

Cheers, Kirsten
