[arg_discuss] White Paper - 2010 Edition

[Brooke Thompson]

Hey all

I've had some really good feedback in re the White Paper! Yay! A  
couple of folks have offered to help me edit it (I'll be in touch!),  
so now we need some authors to step up and help us make this thing a  
reality. I posted this on my blog, as well as to the list, so feel  
free to spread the word to any & all that might be interested in  
writing a section. And, if you've got an idea for a section you'd like  
to write that's not already included, mention it and we might be able  
to make it happen.

The proposed outline is as follows:
- Intro (Brooke Thompson)
- Overview
	- The Rise of Transmedia
	- Market
	- Business Models
	- Audience
	- General Design Principals
- ARGs in various industries
	- ARGs and Marketing
	- ARGs and Publishing (Michael Andersen)
	- ARGs and Television
	- ARGs and Serious Games
	- Towards an Independent Future
- An Academic View into research trends & future directions


The (rather tight, eep!) schedule looks like this:
	- Call for Authors - starting now!
	- Outlines - May 15
		 (outlines reviewed & comments sent to authors by June 1)
	- First Drafts - July 1
		 (drafts reviewed & comments sent to authors by July 15)
	- Final Drafts - September 1
		 (paper assembled for final editing by September 10)

If you are interested, please get in touch with me as soon as possible!
