That's real good news, Greg, especially if you're talking about flexibility on the DP side. 100% of the responsibility for evaluating and recommending changes to the DP process has been apparently relegated to the DP Board of Directors.
I don't think that was the intention of the (relatively) new Board and new GM. The Board has ideas, but isn't trying to manage day to day activity.
Since you are one of the five directors, you're in the know if anyone is. Since you represent 20% of the horsepower responsible for coming up with those changes, I trust you've been busy.
Indeed, but actually we have not been looking at this level of detail for changes in the DP processing chain. The Board isn't to micromange, and isn't to get in the way of progress. That said, if you think there are proposals, ideas for change, etc. that are not getting the attention they deserve, I would be happy to bring them to the board (or GM, as appropriate) on anyone's behalf, anonymously if desired. -- Greg

If PG were able to easily accept a txt file now and the html version (and other versions later) not only would readers get some books a year earlier, but we could probably save some efforts that die and get lost somewhere between txt complete and html complete. Why does posting have to happen "all at once" ???
It doesn't. In fact, "extracting" works from DP earlier was a big push I made a couple of years ago. At that time, such two stage (or other great-than-one stage) output was something that didn't fit well with the workflow. Maybe that's something that could be revisited.
It's important to not double the effort involved at the final posting phase (whitewashing) through such a two stage process. But there are several good ways of insuring this, which could be incorporated with the process.
There is definitely flexibility.
