Hi guys.
I am quite pleased to announce the release of the User's Guide to
Plone (Second Edition for Plone 3.x) on Amazon.com! This is the second
version of the end user manual for Plone that has been published in
the United States.
I was about to adjust the books section but I wanted to run it by everyone.
http://plone.org/documentation/booksHas only 1 entry for "User's Guide to Plone". I suggest creating two
entries similar to "Definitive Guide to Plone".
End User's Guide to Plone (Second Edition)
Which has a description of the End User's Guide to Plone.
End User's Guide to Plone (PDF)
Which has a slightly different decription which points to plonebook.info.
Several reasons:
- It is a huge marketing advantage to have books available from a
reputable outlet such as Amazon. The quality of the binding and print
is first rate.
- Plone is the only Open Source CMS that has an entire book
concerning itself with the *usage* (not development) of the Plone CMS.
This reduces deployment costs in large organizations. It is very
important item on the checklist when potentials are looking at
adopting software.
- It is confusing for an IT Manager to have 1 item for both "PDF and
Amazon". They should be marked very differently.
The user experience should be "Oh I click on the button and goto
Amazon." Not "I click on the button, goto another website and then
figure out how to download a PDF".
if there are no issues. I will get our copy editor (Robert Nagle) to
help revise the description and create two entries in the books
section. One for the Amazon version and one for the online and free
PDF version.
