The end result was this book: Wireless Networking in the Developing World. But more important to me than the actual book (which was pretty cool, and very important), was the model through which it was written. Based on the idea of a code sprint, and a result of constraints on my time, and the time of every smart person I knew, the model was called Book Sprint.

A new formulation might be that publishers and editors contribute to building a community that involves an author and a group of readers who are exploring a subject ”

Simon Worthington
Mute Magazine In the early 1990s, long before the Internet became an integral part of life, a handful of pioneering magazines took it upon themselves to imagine it into existence.
