How about a poemranker book, published commercially and sold in the bookshops? Please post your responses. There are four points I want people to consider.
(1) Who will choose which poems should go in the book? All the users, with the usual voting device? Or should there be an editorial committee?
(2) Who would take the profits, in the event that there were any? Mr Kaolin Fire? Or the poets whose work was featured? Split between all the contributors, individual royalty cheques would be very small. Bearing this in mind, would people be willing to waive copyright? How else would copyright issues be resolved when everyone is anonymous?
(3) What does Mr Kaolin Fire have to say on the subject?
(4) Or - and this is a real concern - would a poemranker book just bring too much publicity and ruin the site?
