We need to find a writer who is within easy reach of our offices in Cambridge, MA, knows how to navigate the Internet, understands such items as ftp, irc, archie, etc and can explain them to a non-technical enduser. This will NOT be a technical reference. What we have in mind is the antithesis of Unix manual pages. The writer will work with the staff of the EFF, various net personalities, and other sources of information. The writer will report directly to the Director of Communications who will assume the role of editor for the duration of the project. We will offer a fee in installments over the course of the project as an advance against royalties. This will be negotiated but will reflect the industry standard. If you think you can write a guide to the Internet that is both easy to understand, technically correct, and entertaining, please send me a short note about what you've done in the last three years, and , more important, a brief statement about what's you'd do if you were to write "The Essential Guide to the Net". replies to v...@eff.org only
