Re: [Yasmin_discussions] Next Step Pubishing: some examples, and questions

Sorry, hit the send button too quickly.

I suppose that my question is also : can we make a
difference between "writing" and "publishing" in the
examples that have been given all along this discussion ? It
seems to me that there is one and that some projects belong
more to the writing model than to the publishing one.
