We thought you'd enjoy this selection of Torah and fun from Mi Yodeya." If we distribute a Word (or possibly even Google) doc, that's easy to provide for. There may even be a way to do it by PDF form. Some online publishers may offer this sort of customer data insertion as an option. | |

The "click here for more" could lead to a larger for-print publication or it could lead to a Meta post with curated lists of great Purim (and p-t) Q&A in the various categories, and/or to simple links to the relevant tags. Since Purim is a weekday holiday, maybe we should really trade on the strength of the electronic format for breadth and economize on the physical medium to try to get many copies of it proliferating. | |
| Oct 31, 2013 at 16:28 | comment | added | Isaac Moses Mod | @MonicaCellio and HodofHod, It's worth considering concentrating on only making a single, tiny, very polished publication, perhaps even something that can be printed on one double-sided page (perhaps of 11"X17" paper). That would make it very easy and inexpensive to slip into MM, bring in one's pocket to parties, or mass produce to drop at shuls. Also, at that scale, we (or possibly a contracted printshop or online publisher) could possibly even offer stacks of nicely-printed copies for sale at cost or at cost plus funds that would go to Matanot Le-evyonim. I am starting to like this format. | |
| Oct 31, 2013 at 16:23 | comment | added | Isaac Moses Mod | @MonicaCellio and HodofHod, either on an abbreviated booklet or a full-on printed publication, it'd be cool to include a QR Code that points back to the electronic source. | |
| Oct 31, 2013 at 13:57 | comment | added | Monica Cellio Mod | Could you say more about what you mean by coming up with "a specific printing spec" for use at FedEx etc? Do you mean something beyond having a PDF? (I may be out of the loop, as it wouldn't have occurred to me to go to FedEx for printing.) | |
| Oct 31, 2013 at 12:45 | comment | added | Monica Cellio Mod | Ooh, I hadn't thought of distributing via shaloch manot baskets; great idea! Possibly this suggests a dual publication: small version (fewer questions) for baskets, which includes the pitch to go download the full version, perhaps using "lots more Purim Torah there" as the hook? (I'm just thinking out loud here; if this doesn't seem like a crazy idea once I've had some caffeine I'll make it an answer so people can vote.) | |
