[...] We had pretty good turnout for the IRC “press conference” we held on Global Voices for the launch of the RSF Guide for Bloggers and Cyberdissidents, with roughly three dozen people showing up. The folks who showed up may well be an object lesson in the challenges of using IRC as a format for discussion – no “offline” journalists joined us, though one tried very hard and failed… And we didn’t get the questions from users in repressive nations we’d hoped for. Again, choosing a technology for conversation that’s extremely geek friendly and newbie unfriendly is probably a bad call for maximizing participation… [...]

Julien,

Just to raise two issues I discussed with Ethan (and wrote about in the IHT , link below):

1- couldn’t al qaeda rename your book as a guide to terrorist communication?

2- aren’t you alerting the authorities to the ways people are keeping things private on the net?

Best,
Tom

We try to spread the .pdf of the handbook through peer to peer networks.
It’s already on e-mule/e-donkey.

Hi to Austin,
I’m in China too. This sites home page has a link to the Handbook, but it’s on the RSF site, which seems to be blocked in China.
In fact there is a link right on this page here which is connected to this site and the handbook can be downloaded, the English version anyway. Also two important parts translated into Chinese are available here too.
Good luck!
Ned…

Thank you so much Ethan. I guess you’ll soon join rsf.org on the chinese authorities’ black list…
Anyone else interested in hosting our guide?
