Other alternative is to have an online store (Shopify/Gumroad) or any other store to channel all the pharo payments: association, consortium, books, mugs, t-shirts, stickers, everything. We're a small community, so the cost of maintaining it should be a fraction of the income. But it's just an idea. The fact there are no serial numbers, etc, makes the sale easier to process.

I don't have time to make an ebook ecommerce site for free for you guys right now.
How about using gumroad.com where its just a 5% cut for now until you can find a student and some budget to implement something?
Seems like you'd need to commit to raising your prices beyond 6 euro to justify any development time on your own custom ebook platform.

2. Why give lulu 20% to control access to a zero marginal cost download that you have to do all the promotion for? At this point are you contractually obligated or is there some flexibility? Can that be switched over right now to just email you when someone orders the PDF and you manually email them the PDF until you get a system in place to automatically respond to their orders?
I don't think we are obligated to do anything. So, if you want to build a little app that would do that, we would really like it.
Oh YES!!! We would love to have that.
