I've downloaded the book and started reading. It is a pleasant read.

I agree with what you said, Johannes, but why should we invent the
wheel ourselves again? Let's check what's in the book that Ben
mentioned, learn from the mistakes, that Jono made himself and avoid
all the trouble.

For all those who don't know Jono Bacaon, he is the Community Manager
for Ubuntu. So I would think, that he has some experience in building
a worldwide community.

Sigrid
