Hello, Walter and I got asked by Packt Publishing about advertising Adam D. Ruppe's "D Cookbook" on http://dlang.org/ or http://wiki.dlang.org/Books. They'd be paying 2-5% of the royalties depending on the ads' prominence. I estimate that would be low in absolute numbers, and would probably go toward defraying our hosting costs. I wanted to ask the community how they'd feel about this. The ads would only advertise Adam's book and we'd have leeway with format and size. Thanks, Andrei

Hi, I see no problem with advertising this book if the publisher's bussness isn't shady and the ad is only a pure (let's keep it the D way) link - I mean no eveil spying tech behind that or something similar. At first look this seems to be a great work and deserves advertising. I hope the book will join my TDPL copy as soon as it's easy to get it from Poland. Piotrek

Thanks, AndreiI see nothing wrong with this as long as the ad doesn't spy on people or link to anything objectionable. It's appropriate advertising.

Thanks, AndreiThe point of dlang.org is (among other things), promoting D . Education is crucial for the development of the D community, therefore I would even encourage promoting the upcoming Adam's book! :) -- http://dejan.lekic.org

"Non-commercial OSS" doesn't have to mean "no revenue" or "no self-promotion".

It is easy for someone who does not pay for the hosting to say this but since dlang (and wiki) will have a link to the publisher's site anyway, unless advertising brings sizable money, I say let's not do it.

Right now, the "Book" link goes to TDPL on amazon, I could envision another link there. -Steve

I was gonna ask you all to put it on the community->links page anyway, so if they're willing to cut you in a piece of the action, so much the better. Though I agree that if it is flashy or noisy, say no. I was just thinking text link and I'd be ok with an image link too, but any javascript or flash stuff, forget that.

And to reiterate image only no flashy noisy thing or evil tracking. Would be great to have this more as a general offering for any book that dealt with D however after all, we want to promote D as having a sizeable community support right? --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

AndreiHi, I would put it under the tweets or even over them. I think the bottom is somehow counter-advertising. In my view, natural position for recommended books (or other products) are on the side panel. Piotrek
