Writers needed for The Ruby Bookshelf project

julian.kamil@gmail.com

2/22/2006 7:24:00 PM

I'd like to get help in converting existing open-licensed Ruby language
related contents into Pandora format to be published at:

http://books.rub...

See this as an example:

http://books.rub...books/RubyNewsGroupFAQ/Introduction/RubyNewsGroupFAQ

The required skills are:

- the ability to cut and paste and edit text into Textile and Silk Veil
format; and

- a good understanding of usability principles to be able to convert
existing (sometimes hard to read) contents into Pandora books that are
more structured, more readable, and more usable; and

- the ability to make occasional typographical and language corrections
in the original contents.

Please contact me by email at mailto:julian.kamil@gmail.com if you are
interested in helping with this project. Point me to existing materials
that you have worked on so that I can have a feel of your usability and
writing skills.

Thanks, and best regards,

Julian I. Kamil <julian.kamil@gmail.com>

Didni't

It confiscated wealth and gave it away

That's not "redistribution" in a functioning society

It confiscated land---and without a functioning society
was not rational

Russia's population could not have survived if all the
land were just confiscated and handed over to the
"peasants"---there would still have been no functioning
government

They got a despotic government---which eventually
controlled the society

But that has nothing to do with WHY the revolution was
able to occur.

Thats not redistribution---that's confiscation

You even said so

Be a good Loonytarian and claim any "taxation" is
"confiscation" and be comic relief

It could never work, and was only the pretext for seizing power.

The Russian revolution was about illegitimate exercise of power...oh,
and murder.

It did. The result was catastrophe - as usual.

It redistributed farmland, and catastrophe resulted.

Redistribution doesn't work.

You don't know a thing.

The confiscated property was redistributed, and the result - as always -
was catastrophe.

Illegitimate by the Tsars or the Bolsheviks?
