Fund rising for the new Spec20 book

by Stéphane Ducasse

Hello Pharoers and Smalltalk Friends Often you or other complain that there is not enough documentation, tutorials…. (even if we have a mooc worth 155 K euros http://mooc.pharo.org <http://mooc.pharo.org/>, several great books http://book.pharo.org <http://book.pharo.org/>), but yes we should update them. Now I started to work on a new book on Spec 20 with Cyril Ferlicot and I decided that I will not write it for free because it will take me at least 6 months. So I decided that if this community wants more books and documentation, it should prove its will :) I created a fundraising campaign to check if people can align their wishes and their means. So feel free to sponsor this great book. Building user interfaces with spec 20 – https://www.okpal.com/building-user-interfaces-with-spec/?utm_campaign=01DK… <https://www.okpal.com/building-user-interfaces-with-spec/?utm_campaign=01DK…> Organisations can also do it. BTW: the crowd funding system and other cost will cost us 10% and after we will pay taxes on this. So I prefer not to count our hour cost because else I would really not write a book at all.
