That's frickin' genius.

Sadly we agreed last meeting that the next booklet wasn't going to be  
called Tech Tools for Activists, here's the relevant parts of the  
discussion (it's relevant to the design, which might need a couple of  
changes):

Nov 18 21:22:10 <marker>	Regarding the target group... I would like to  
suggest that we change the title of the book, by a single letter. I  
think we should use "Tech Tools for Activism", rather than "... for  
Activists".
Nov 18 21:22:20 <penguin>	so not a generic floss is cool, but a how to  
make floss work for activists?
Nov 18 21:22:24 <marker>	The reason being that these tools are really  
for everyone, and in general I think that for people to identify as  
'activists' is counterproductive because it propagates the idea that  
political activity is just for a special group of people. I think what  
we want is for everyone to be empowered to undertake political  
activity, so we should encourage everyone to think about their  
activism, rather than addressing a narrow self-defined social group  
like 'activis
...
Nov 18 21:24:51 <BenG>	given that activists include everyone  
politically active, and not just a subclass of human
Nov 18 21:25:03 <BenG>	we could change the wording marker
Nov 18 21:25:14 <penguin>	marker - can you define the target audience?
Nov 18 21:25:23 <marker>	hmmm...
Nov 18 21:25:44 <marker>	people who want to use tech tools in their  
political activity?
Nov 18 21:26:02 <BenG>	I'd go for that
Nov 18 21:26:29 <BenG>	any pluses or minuses on that peeps?
Nov 18 21:26:49 <penguin>	i agree - think it's a matter of words, not  
intent. we can change words at quite a late stage
Nov 18 21:27:23 <BenG>	or marker could edit the notes on flossmanuals  
right now if we all agree

We edited the style guide on flossmanuals.

Cheers,
