I don't think ZDP (at least I) is going to miss this chance.
I agree, we've to talk to a publisher. The problem at the moment is the
person who's going to be the 'middle' man.
And the stuff we've right now. That's not much!
(I don't know, if we've to wait for chosing the 'middle' man, before we've
some more stuff. I think it's this person task to provide the publisher with
the information we have now and the goal. After they agree what will be in
or not, it's his/her task to bring the results to ZDP and try to devide the
tasks)


Great that you're willing to be a reviewer! Thanks for the support.
This helps us already someway further

Tom.
