ADMIN: Possible Changes to the Main List Settings

[arrowsmithbt]

Not really up to speed with this thread, Feedback isn't my preferred environment.

As I understand it, ADMIN want an expanded come-on to catch the eye of potential 
members and there is a possibility of some sort of omnibus publication - have I got 
that right? And some are warning about copyright complications.

OK. Off-the-cuff suggestion - it's probably already been considered, but...             
How big would this 'book' be? 2-400 pages maybe? Involving how many posts and 
posters? Say 3-500 posts and 100-150 posters (if that, the best posts seem to come 
from a smallish group of members IMO).

Select your posts (with a few in reserve, just in case) and get permission from the 
chosen authors to publish those *specific* posts. Use a selection of the same posts 
for the come-on. Expand as time or necessity may dictate. Even if the 'book' never 
happens (and I have doubts about publishers being interested, myself), you'll still 
have permission for posting some of the better ones in the public domain.

Is this feasible and do you think it would be acceptable?
