Hello all,
For some of you, this may come as news: Since early January this year I
have
been working on a book about Wikipedia. It is a
rather comprehensive
book,
divided into five parts:
1. What is Wikipedia?
2. How to edit Wikipedia
3. Frequently (and infrequently) asked questions - including a close
comparison of Wikipedia and traditional encyclopedias
4. The history of Wikipedia
5. Interviews with among others: Jimmy Wales, Sue Gardner and several
influential Swedish contributors
The Swedish title of the book is "Så fungerar Wikipedia", which
translates
to "How Wikipedia works".
The book is now finished and will premiere at the Gothenburg Book Fair!
This
means that you will be able to order the book as
soon as the Book Fair is
opened on the 25th of September. It is sold through a print-on-demand
company, called Vulkan, which is also printing Wikimedia Sverige's first
WikiReader (about Swedish Birds, see
http://se.wikimedia.org/wiki/Svenska_f%C3%A5glar). The adress for Vulkan
is
www.vulkan.se.
Every picture in the book is under a free license.
For more information about the book, in Swedish (an English version of
the
page is forthcoming), see
http://se.wikimedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A5_fungerar_Wikipedia
In closing, I would like to thank everybody who have helped me with the
book, including Arne Klempert, Delphine Ménard, Frank Schulenburg, Jan
Ainali, Jimmy Wales, Kurt Jansson, Lars Aronsson, Mathias Schindler, Nina
Gerlach, Philipp Birken, and Sue Gardner.
If you have any questions and comments, you can either respond to this
email
or send it privately to
l_guldbrandsson(a)hotmail.com.
Best wishes,
Congrats Lennart.
Out of curiosity, is the book under a free licence ? And how much do you
sell it ?
Ant
