[casual_games] White Paper Update - More writers needed

[Dave Rohrl]

Hi all!

We've made terrific progress on staffing the 2008 white paper.  Dozens of
people have jumped on board to help write and edit many of the sections.  As
of today, I have a section editor for every single section, but I still need
writers for the following subsections:

   - Understanding Casual Games: What Is A Casual Game? and The Market
   for Casual Games
   - Downloadable Games: Overview, Art History, and Market & Audience
   - Advergames: Art History, Market & Audience, Design Principles,
   Production & Development, and Funding Models
   - Ad-Supported Games: Overview, Art History, and Production &
   Development
   - Casual MMO's: Overview, Art History, Market & Audience, Production &
   Development, and Key Players
   - Console Downloads: Overview, Art History, Market & Audience, Design
   Principles, Production & Development, and Key Players
   - Derivative Products: Portable, Slots/Gambling

I'd really like to find volunteers who still step up and take these pieces
on, otherwise we're going to have to truncate some of these sections -
robbing them of the full treatment they deserve in the white paper.

If you can contribute even a small amount of time to write 3-5 pages -
especially around Casual MMO's or Console Downloads - you will be making a
tremendous contribution to this important community effort.  Please get in
touch with me ASAP to help fill in some of these critical gaps.

Many thanks,
