Don't know.

I mean, honestly, I have a split reason for doing the posting here,
as well as to any other forum.  One reason is to brag about the fact
that OSS was used to produce the book.  The other reason is free
advertising for the book.

I figure as long as the forum is appropriate for such a posting, nobody
will mind, which is why I _didn't_ post to any OOo or Scribus lists,
as I couldn't find any that seemed appropriate.

I don't frequent /. enough to know whether something like this is
appropriate or not.
