K this is just an idea, but...

the piece i have in mind at the moment is the BIP, but this would apply to all "substanstial" collections produced on this forum or others for that matter, that are kopyleft.

I've found a site that one can submit pdf's to and then they print and distribute the material. kinda self publishing if you will.
I'm going to give it a try with the BIP (version 2 i think) then link to it here.

let me know what you all think.

[edit]
[ just in case people get the wrong idea, it would obviously not be for profit ]
[ purely for distribution, it would be like +- US$ 5.00 plus postage ]

hxxp://www.lulu.com -  we should really make a Discordian-group effort to do something as above ....
and idea, (it could also pay for the hosting etc)

and individual writers i suggest it for your own material as well  :D

There already is a BIP booklet on Lulu. I don't know if it's the revised edition or 1.0.
There was a link somewhere here, I'll hunt it down later.
Unless stated otherwise, feel free to copy or reproduce any text I post anywhere and any way you like. I will never throw a hissy-fit over it, promise.

Oh.  lulu.  Syn used that to publish his edition of the PD, if i recall.

When you said "distribute", I figured they'd be doing it IRL.
