The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

It might be a good idea to say 'available internationally'.  This would
probably be a good guarantee that something would be available in English
somewhere.  I could foresee a book being available only in Japan, with a
very small distribution.

As for the price.. hmmm like Fernando said, books in Europe are
significantly more expensive.  Maybe we should be content with having some
documentation available...  Hmm I'm not sure... I don't like the idea of
putting a figure on it, in any case.  Maybe something long the lines of
'no more than 2 times the price of similiar books' - that's pretty
general.
