- "From the masses", Rick? Not so far, though I've had one response and would
- be delighted to get others.
-
- Hmmmm... I hadn't envisaged enough responses or enough content in the
- responses that something with **royalties** would be forthcoming. I was
- thinking of something for SIGCSE or for the SIGGRAPH Education Committee.
- Like so much publication that faculty do, this costs us, not the other way
- around (though it would be loverly if things were different, don't y'know).
-
- But in the one case where I've edited a collection of contributions and had
- a real publisher pick it up, I (well, we, actually) gladly shared the advance
- with contributors, and I'd expect to do so again should a publisher be
- interested in picking this up.
