I'd like to see the APF: http://www.lspace.org/books/apf/index.html merged into the Discworld/Pratchett lspace wiki: http://wiki.lspace.org/index.php/Annotations Is there a reason this hasn't been done? I'd be happy to do it myself, but if there's a reason people aren't doing this, I want to make sure I don't break any rules, etc.

B-)Of course someone could populate a Wiki _base_d on information in another source if copyright allows. Happy New Year

Mainly, the current APF has a certain license, the Wiki another, and they are incompatible. Copying the whole APF into the Wiki would mean the maintainers of the APF have to get permission from all the people who have contributed so far. Some people might _object_. Further issues are: the editing of submissions, which means there's a certain quality and reliability that is more difficult to get on a wiki, and the wiki is more difficult (or even near-impossible at this stage) to convert to other formats. The APF isn't a website, it's also a PDF file, a Latex file and Glod knows how many other formats, which makes it portable and accesible in many ways. If the information is stored in a wiki, much time will be consumed by converting it to other formats while this is now an easy task. There has been discussion before about this (since a wiki for annotations seems one of the most logical things, as the mainstream information is already available in the Discworld Companion), so for more reasons why to put it in a wiki or not you might want to google group a little bit (wiki and apf as keywords for alt.*.pratchett). A few earlier discussions: http://groups.google.com/group/alt.books.pratchett/browse_frm/thread/... (which reminds me that I haven't seen Leo or any other afpers in over a year, so it's time for a meet.)

All I ask is that you (a) always distribute the APF for free, and in its entirety Meaning you're not allowed even to spread just part of the APF. _base_d on the _link_ed html page I'd say you're not even allowed to print out and give to a collegue the page for only one of the book. That doesn't seem what's intended but it is what it says.
