Progress and "The Back of the Book"

Sean has been a busy man. We have the URL and the Content Management software is just being set up. I merely report this, Sean is the man who actually got it done.

When he thinks it's ready we'll put up discussion forums to proceed with the organization.

Now would be a good time to think about a) what articles you are burning to write, b) who else we should have onboard, c) the "back of the book" - movie reviews, CD's, games, books, websites, software.

The back of the book is a place which is about opinion but not politics in any direct sense. And it is potentially a huge draw for Billy. For example, Bob over at Let it Bleed, along with having come up with Billy, writes first class book reviews.

With the book reviewing budgets at the Canwest papers cut back to nearly zero and very few book editors being willing to assign anything but the next big literary novel for fear of missing a GG nominee, non-fiction reviewing (and fiction of course) is open to new entrants..That be us.

And so on. Thoughts and comments and dibs welcome in comments.
