[[SolSeed]] < [[Media]] < '''SolSeed book'''
In book form, the ideas that make up [[SolSeed]] will be much more "solid" than they are on this wiki--that is, while a wiki is designed to be easy to change, a book can only be revised relatively rarely. Thus, it's important to plan carefully to ensure that the book represents the best current consensus we can establish about what [[SolSeed]] is, where it came from, and what it intends to become.
Some ideas for this iteration of the book could be drawn from [[Ben]]'s initial work on a previous iteration at [http://www.aboutus.org/Becoming_Earthseed:_A_Survival_Guide_for_the_Human_Race AboutUs.org].
== Title Ideas ==
* ''Becoming SolSeed: A Survival Guide for the Human Race''
** Makes the title stand out, but maybe too sensationalist
* ''SolSeed: Building a Community of Starfarers''
* ''SolSeed: Growing New Living Worlds''
** Could these two be combined without being awkward?
