Wardley Maps on Leanpub

Why this repo? And why Leanpub?

I had heard a lot about Wardley Maps and wanted to read his book on the subject, but I somewhat ironically don't find Medium to be a very good medium for this kind of material. I read a lot on my commute, which doesn't have the best mobile signal - so I figured the best option would be to convert the Medium posts in to an ebook format that can be downloaded and read offline. I also assumed others have similar challenges and would benefit from his work being available on ebook readers, etc. so decided to put some effort into this for the benefit of others.

I've also been exploring the idea of writing a Leanpub book for a while now, and this felt like a good way to experiment with it and get comfortable with the publishing process before diving in head first on my own material. Fortunately, Wardley Maps has been generously published under a license that permits sharing.

Attribution

This repo contains the source for the Wardley Maps ebook on Leanpub. This is the original work of Simon Wardley, a researcher for the Leading Edge Forum, and the original is published on Medium under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International license. The same license has been applied to this repository.

I have tried to fairly represent all parties involved in producing this material (as described on the Medium posts). If any errors or omissions are discovered, please raise a PR or Issue so it can be rectified.

Modifications

The content of this ebook aims to be as consistent as possible with the original blog posts, including text, images, etc. Once all content has been imported from the original posts on Medium, a tag will be created and referenced here to allow anyone to track modifications made to the original content. I think this is probably the best way to be as consistent as possible with the licensing terms under CC-BY-SA-4.0.

Reporting Errors

If you notice any errors with this ebook, please report them using GitHub Issues on this project. PRs that fix errors are also welcome.

wardley-maps's Issues

Zoom on images doesn't work on Kindle paperwhite

You can't zoom into images of reading the Mobi version of the book on a Kindle Paperwhite. See attached photos.
2 are from the Wardley mapping book, the rest from another book from Leanpub where the zoom works

Checking on receptiveness to copyediting pull requests

The book contains a number of typos, misspellings (of the sort that wouldn't be caught be spell checkers), and punctuation/clarity bugs. In one case (at least) the name of a referenced author is spelled wrong.

How receptive would you be to receiving PRs to correct these? In the process I plan also to create a bibliography of works referenced in the book and send a PR for that as well.

Are you open for this sort of contribution? I'd be doing the entire book, so it would be a lot of work and I don't want to dive in on that unless I know the work is likely to be included in the ePub.

Clarity around $ on the LeanPub listing

Hello! I moved this conversation here (from Twitter), because this seems like a better venue.

I found your leanpub for WardleyMapping, and I'd love to boost it, but I would feel better if the messaging around the finances were a little clearer on the LeanPub listing. I am by no means an authority here, but...

  1. I think it would be completely reasonable for you to accept funds to support your work maintaining the offline format (as changes come in and so on).
  2. Or, if you're donating all funds to charity, it would be awesome if you could list the specific charity or charities you have in mind.

My hope in writing is just to suggest some ways to reduce the ambiguity around the question "where's the money going?" :-)

Thanks for all the work you've put into this offline version! I remember the pain of trying to convert all the medium posts into PDFs to throw on my Kindle. So this is super helpful!
